hello everyone welcome to we hate movies
thank you for tuning in as always
that's right it's leprechaun from
93 written and directed by Mark Jones
you may know him as the author behind
Rumpel Stiltskin and
2008's L.O.L. Triloquist
which all you need to know about Triloquist
ladies and gentlemen was released by the
Dimension Films Extreme
Shutter
or Shingle rather and
who better to have on the program
finally for the first fucking time
a long time coming here are good friends
Chelsea and James from the
Deadman shows. How are you guys doing?
Great. Thank you so
much for having us return in the favor from two years ago when we had you on our channel.
Yeah.
Lots of people's favorite episode of our podcast.
Was that Slender Man?
It was Slender Man.
Yeah, that was a lot of fun.
That's on your YouTube, right?
It is, yeah.
All of us crammed into a dining room table in our apartment.
It was a memorable night.
I'm going to make a bold prediction.
This is going to be everyone's favorite episode of this podcast.
It's guaranteed.
Well, everyone loves leprechaunpercon, man.
he's the best.
It'll never be a mortal combat for me.
James and I still relistened to that episode.
You guys did.
Yeah, that was a special one.
So, yeah, I feel like this was a movie.
We've sort of like kicked down the road.
Probably since the spectacular started.
It was like, you're one of the spectacular.
Hey, you want to do Lepricon?
Yeah, sure.
And then we just had better ideas.
We're finally getting to all the stuff we didn't want to do.
But we've been podcasting.
for 10 years, so we kind of have to do.
Thanks for bringing us on.
So I got a message
from Eric asking if we'd come on the show.
And when I showed James the message with
what movie he asked us to watch,
I saw light
leave James'
Oh, no.
He's like, why?
James, you're the horror guys. You guys love
horror. You love this movie. But my
hard-hitting question, James,
where on your body is your leprechaun test?
too.
Yeah, right on my ass where it belongs.
But are you a super fan?
You said that you've seen this
an embarrassing amount of times before we started.
And I'm going to throw it to you.
What's the number?
What's, what's a guesstimate of the number?
It is at least four.
I mean, if we're talking like life,
like including when I was younger
and watching horror movies,
then it's probably double digits.
Okay.
But like just in the past four years,
it's been four or five times.
and every time I watch
and I've done the whole series
a number of times as well
back to back
the whole thing?
Even that new one, the 2018 one?
I like
It's honestly not that bad.
It's the W.W.E. one
that is the largest steaming pile of shit.
Oh, that's what was that dude's name?
Shamis.
Hornswago.
Well, see, I don't know,
wrestling, but that's, doesn't that seem...
Sheavis is like 6'5.
Oh, is that right?
I don't know.
Oh, no, it's hornswoggle.
Hornswoggle.
Hornswagon.
Yes.
Who had a,
who had a storyline
where he lived beneath the ring.
He lives under the ring.
And where he was Vince McMahon's
illegitimate son.
Oh, no.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, man.
I have to say, I checked out of wrestling
during the attitude era,
so I'm not aware of horn swoggle.
But that sounds pretty degrading.
No, Seamus is like six foot something.
And he also looks like the icon
for every, like,
Clash of King's app, you know, the guy who's like, that's what he looks like.
So him as leprechaun, I mean, I would watch it.
Now that's a horror movie.
Now you've got yourselves a real deal.
Because that's like, oh yeah, beware the leprecha.
Yeah, okay.
And then that towering fucker comes out.
Or you can do the Gandalf thing with them, right?
You make them look smaller?
Oh.
Well, you know, something tells me, man, these movies don't have like Peter Jackson
Weta special effects money.
Imagine a little tough guy, like pure little muscle coming at you.
Terrifying.
A meatwad that's just bicep.
Yeah.
That's kind of belial from basket case.
He's all muscles.
That would work.
It's a mussely meatwad, yeah.
Oh, basket case.
But yeah, every time I watch these movies, honestly, I end up kind of liking them a little more.
It's Stockholm syndrome.
It's definitely Stockholm syndrome.
Is this your feeling?
favorite one? No, God, no. No, it's low on the list, honestly. Okay. Vegas is probably number one.
Wait, he goes to Vegas? He goes to Vegas in the third one. Caroline Williams is in it. It's pretty good.
Which, by the way, I thought that was this movie when I was like, oh, we're doing this for spectacular. I was like, okay, it goes to Vegas.
No, dude, they're stuck on a fucking farm in this one. I'm so sorry. I caught most of Vegas on the sci-fi channel one day and I didn't have a bad time. I'll be totally honest.
It's fine. It's fine. Because by then, they know what they.
they are. In this movie, they don't know what the fuck
they are yet. It's all over the place
and tone. His voice is very different.
Like, he hasn't really found the character
yet. It's so weird. It kind of
just sounds like a guy in some parts.
He just sounds like his
voice. Yeah. You know, he's not even
attempting an Irish accent, really.
Can I embarrass myself? Oh, do it, dude.
Do it. I was so
I mean, like I've said, a trillion times in the show, I was really
late to horror. I was a real scared little kid.
And I think honestly up there with like Freddie Kruger, I was like, oh, dude, get that leprechaun out of here.
I thought it was the scariest thing in the world.
I swear to God.
Well, it's because his makeup is like legit.
He looks like another otherworldly being.
It doesn't look like a dude in makeup.
Shout out to Gabe Bartolos for doing all those makeup effects.
And then he's also just a nasty little fucker.
Leopardy is like, he's so mean.
Yeah.
I would rather get killed by any other of the.
slasher's because you know what, they're just cutting your, cutting your head off or impaling
you on something. I don't want claws and biting. The biting is a big problem. The biting is a big
problem. Okay, but leprechaun versus trolls from Ernest scared stupid.
Oh, those are scary. Way scarier. I think leprecha. Really? Lepercon scarier. Well, Steve grew up in
the Bronx, which you were close proximity to a lot of Irish people. You're battling off the Irish left
and right up there. Very scary. Very scary. Oh, man. I'll say my favorite, though,
lep in the hood is I will go to. Leap in the hood has some legit heart to it. I think it's a lot of fun.
And honestly, I don't hate leprechaun's face. I kind of like it. We actually, I'm going to let you guys
know also. So it's like on the record. And if this ever comes up, like you can defend us as
there's some stolen ideas here. We posited recently what I think is a pretty rad idea for,
in space, which has never happened.
The idea is
one of the astronauts on a mission
to space is a former Elm Street
kid. And they have to go into
a hyper-sleep situation.
Uh-oh. I think
that's pretty good.
I'm waking up for this.
Yep. Yeah.
That's what that passenger's movie
should have been. Oh, yeah.
Is that what that was? Much less rape.
Oh, man.
Because that's kind of just what's going on.
Chris Pratt one, right?
Yes.
Oh, God. Yeah. He's a
creeping a half. There should have been Fred Krueger
in that for sure.
So credit where credits do, I have to say
because what I've been doing
folks is I'm trying to say even like
movies like this which are not my thing.
I'm trying to say nice things about them.
Get a nice word in
my old age, you know?
So I'll say
credit where credits do shot one
you're seeing this fucker. It is not a
like we're hiding it or whatever
shot one he is
there with his little pot of gold or whatever.
Pretty great. Seeing the guy right out front.
I would say that's a negative.
Oh, no.
When we were watching it last night, I pointed out
to James that I love
that leprechaun, it's just Warwick Davis.
Like, it's a guy, you know, we're not
doing like an animatronic or any
kind of puppetry. It's Warwick Davis.
And so you get all these really amazing
like two wide of shots where you see
all of him just running around and getting
blown away by shotguns.
He gets the shit beat out of him.
He gets the shit.
Just like clubbed with flashlights and shit.
It's hilarious.
Dude, they are beating this guy like it's fucking Joe Pesci at the end of casino.
It is unbelievable the beating.
It's like when Russell Crow goes ham on Danny DeVito and L.A. Confidential where it's like, that's not fair.
Guys, okay, don't do that.
He's just a little guy.
I love it.
And yeah, I could watch him get totally just leveled by that shotgun.
10 times a day, every day for the rest of my life.
It's that good.
He falls like a dummy.
It's wild.
And yeah, it's just framed so wide that I don't know.
There's like no mystery to him either.
We're not like avoiding, oh, yeah, avoiding the monster to make him scared.
No, it's just him running around.
He's skateboarding at one point.
And correct me if I'm wrong.
I got a big question about that skateboard.
We'll get you later.
He bleeds green when they shoot him, right?
Yeah.
Isn't that something?
Is that an Irish thing?
Do Irish people bleed green?
Yeah.
Half of me bleeds that way.
If you cut my right arm, it's red, but if you cut my left arm, dude, green town.
When Mark Wahlberg gets cut, it's all green on the front and down that arm.
They have the C.G and I color correction to make it red on screen.
The way you hit cut, I thought of circumcision.
So now I'm just picturing an Irish baby getting circumcised and green blood flying out.
That's a good thought.
I think it's a very good thought, Eric.
I'm just letting everyone know
what I have to like go to sleep with every night
That's the shit that's all every night
I thought it was a new thought
It's similar thoughts every
Every night Irish babies dude
Every night Irish babies
No no they change
Okay
It's a good rerun though
Tonight's Ireland
Anybody notice we skipped the
What's this movie about?
Because it's fucking lepricon
It's about lepriccan
It's a lepricron pot of gold
All of it
Absolutely. We get this nice sort of prologue, cold open type thing with Mr. O'Grady.
Dude, this guy is rolling up in his limo.
I love God. I'm glad he got a limo ride before he died.
Totally. I love that they bother naming the show fairer, too. I forget. He's like,
Oh, Joseph. Joseph. Thank you. It's like, you didn't need to name that guy.
But they did. That's nice. Yeah. You know what? Because that's, I feel like these kind of movies, you got to give
everybody a character name so that way like
if you have the opportunity to get a booth
at a con it's like uh you
know I was the chauffeur and lebracon
$50 for an
autographed photo. That's true
and it's also world building
exactly what's Joseph up to
we'll find out in Leopardon 3 I bet
no
fingers crossed for Joseph the limo driver
to come back. He's in Vegas
oh actually that would make sense
yeah he drives
from North Dakota
Right? What an interesting place to set a movie.
Yeah, what a wonderful horror movie setting.
A farmhouse in North Dakota.
That really grabs my attention.
I'm curious if, you know how there's those kind of like infographics where it's like a map of the U.S.
And it kind of shows what horror movies take place.
This has to be the North Dakota one.
It's the North Dakota one.
Yeah.
There's no other North Dakota.
Just home videos up there, I think, maybe.
Yeah, those get pretty spooky up there.
Just stuff we found in a guy's garage.
Yeah, totally.
Some militia training videos up there.
Yeah, a lot of like stop the steel
if I don't come back videos.
We have eight listeners in North Dakota,
which means 50% of North Dakota
listens to this show, which is really excited.
That's almost enough for a live show.
I would love to go to North Dakota.
Bismarck, is that a North Dakota town?
Yeah, that's one.
Well, that's Mark McDonald's.
Why not go Boston, dude?
I mean, that's the move.
You know, maybe Boston or possibly, you know,
the Bronx had a lot of Irish people like why not have an Irish population situation
I think I know why I was thinking about this I think because it's like enough Irish people
would know how to defeat him I think
because they're all taught that stuff when they're growing up right like if I ever you
see a lepracan come through this door oh I remember I remember my nan dude absolutely
every birthday card it was like here's five dollars and also remember if you ever
find yourself crossing paths with a leprechaun just put a fucking
box over him and put a little four-leaf clover
on top of it. A very rickety
box. Throw some dirty shoes at him.
Dude, can I just say, again,
points to this movie for being, I'm pretty sure
the only horror film where,
and maybe this also happens in the sequels, I don't know.
So it might be the whole fucking franchise,
where the villain is totally taken down
because of his own shoe fetish.
Yeah. I think he gets more obsessed.
Well, this is in Mindhunter. Does he really?
Yeah.
Oh, yes. Maybe I will watch
these sequels now. This is mind
Hunter's stuff, right? And it's like, oh, this one, you really
love shoes. Or is
a cobbler? Is this part
of the mythos for leprechauns? I don't know
really the, um,
I don't think so. I think this is literally his
profession because he says to
chubs from Teen Wolf, he's like
A, I'm a leprechaun and B
am also a cobbler. I did
as much research as
whoever wrote this movie did. And apparently
shoe stuff is part
of the leprechaun.
Oh, really?
It's like one of those old antiquated
things about vampires.
Like they have to count shit or something.
Like,
are you thinking of count Dracula, dude?
No, but I think there's an actual thing
where it's like they have to count the object.
Well, they have to be invited in.
That's one of them.
That's one of them.
But they're also OCD.
You're saying like he's got,
I have to touch the door knob five times.
I think so.
I'll look it up.
Oh, interesting.
No, with the lepericon franchise,
the,
I don't know, his traits.
Sorry to interrupt you, James, but this is very important.
Breaking news.
Breaking vampire news.
If a bag of rice, grain, or seeds, or other similar substances is spilled on the ground,
a vampire will have to count every grain.
Oh, wow, dude.
Yeah.
How about that?
He's kind of like Renaissance, or not Renaissance, man.
Who am I thinking of?
What man?
Yeah, there he is.
What of the men?
He was a vampire.
What was Renaissance?
Oh, Danny DeVito teaching kids in the Army.
That's a lot of DeVito on this up.
I love it.
Oh, totally.
I mean, he could play leprechaun.
I would watch that lepracon.
Definitely.
I feel like they have dressed that man as a leprechaun at least what.
I mean, it's just brought in the air a while, like six times on it's always sunny, you figure?
Yeah.
It's got to be sunny.
It's got to be sunny.
Like, definitely.
You're built in advertising.
Yeah.
All right.
So Mr.
O'Grady comes home.
His wife is like, oh, you're so drunk this time that you've rented a limousine, I see.
And he's like, no, no.
know, I found the leprecha gold
and he's got this like sack of gold
that he has to go hide. And this lady
is like really rethinking
some life choices here. Like I
fucking left Ireland with this guy.
Big mistake. Should
have stayed. He's so
drunk. He's blowing our money
on fanciful limo rides and claiming
that we're rich. And then
these elderly
people are just murdered.
I do like the thought process though
of like, oh gosh,
She's really drunk again.
Oh, but he got a ride home.
That's good.
Oh, no, it's a limousine.
Okay.
Oh, you're really.
You know, it's just, oh.
Well, at least you weren't mowing down people in the street.
Exactly.
I mean, you're being more subtle than they are in this movie.
Like, he, the Pogues should be following him out of this limousine.
And he should be saying hard titat, tart, titar, and skipping back and forth up a cobble street.
What I love the most is that he went to Ireland to bury his mother.
And then you just got it mixed up
in some leprechaun business.
I want that prequel.
Yes.
Yeah.
I need to see the leprecon hunt.
That would be amazing.
And it's funny because you'd have to cast someone
that's like equally old and shitty as this guy.
It's not like him young going to Ireland.
No.
That's like kind of the premise of the WW one.
Is that the WW one?
Yeah.
Where they go to Ireland.
They go to Ireland.
And it's this whole thing where it's a setup where this father and son like
lure in tourists by pretending to be,
you know,
stereotypically, you know, cute and Irish
and like, oh, they're so cute.
Oh, they have a little cabin we can stay at.
That's nice.
And they just sacrifice tourists to the leprechaun.
Oh.
It's a decent premise.
It's a kind of fun premise.
I feel like she's already overselling the group.
Already overselling it.
See, I would be more interested.
I mean, I guess, you know, go to Torrent Town or something.
I don't want to give Vince McMahon a fucking penny.
Fair.
Completely fair.
Especially he's making poor Hornswaggle sleep under the ring.
they are treated like circus people man it is unbelievable
but I do love
the leprechaun's
trait in this movie where he impersonates a child
and it's kind of weird like he goes away
and then like she starts to hear like twigle
it's either trickle to a little star
oh this no this first one is Mary had a little lamb
in the suitcase and I'd be like
did he bury his mother or was he doing
sex tourism question
what was that why
is there a child in my husband's suitcase?
Dude, but I have to say, it's not just this, like, little girl thing.
He's, like, mimicking people throwing his voice.
He's like, fucking Rich Little.
Ask your grandparents about Rich Little.
Very disturbing superpower right there.
He's doing all kinds of impressions.
Although, the acting of the impressions is questionable.
This little kid voice is like, help, I'm suffocating in here.
I don't have any air.
I don't have air.
Like, uh-huh.
But is this suitcase, this suitcase that is, it's not a suitcase, it's like a briefcase.
I mean, is this like belonging to Mary Poppins?
Like, how the fuck is he fitting in this thing?
Yeah.
It's the only time there's any like shape shifting or something like that with this guy.
And it's also weird.
It's like he got the gold.
He came, he brought the leprechaun back to America.
I think he was, I think he stowed away, Eric.
I think it was the thing where like at the airport, you know, he checks his bag.
and then like the little leprechaun
just kind of zips in and gets in there kind of
a thing. Yeah.
He gives somebody 20 bucks.
I think he has cash
like a petty cash situation.
The lepricon does like a wallet full of petty cash
for small expenses, but it's mostly about the goal.
Steve, calm down.
Steve, calm down.
I know you hate stowways.
I do.
I have a deep hatred for them.
Just calm down.
It's okay.
Or he flew a tiny airplane over.
He loves tiny vehicles so much.
He loves his little vehicle so much.
Just like Rudolph Hess.
Oh, man.
Is he driving tiny shit in other movies?
Absolutely.
Oh, yeah.
In the second one, he's got like a Clover mobile that he's driving.
It's like a go-kart.
I'm trying to remember what else he drives around in these.
There's got to be like a train, like a little choo-choo train.
A helicopter?
Do we get a helicopter at any time?
There's no, there's no leprick chopper.
I don't know.
Leproctor, yeah.
Aside from it being horrifically inappropriate for children,
you could have had a series of Happy Meal toys
based on the Leprechaun.
I was like, oh, look, I've got him on the skateboard.
Oh, look, I've got him on the whatever
in his little...
The tricycle.
The tricycle, he's also got some sort of like
battle van with like a...
The battlebot with a wedge.
The battlebot was great.
He does have a battlebot, which is a progo stick.
Yep. Yep.
Oh, yeah.
Now you're making me...
No, sorry. I got too excited.
James and Chelsea, are you watching Battlebots?
We've seen Battlebots live.
We went to a battlebot's life.
Yeah.
We went to a battlebot's life.
taping a couple years ago, and I lost
my voice. It was the best day of my life.
I'm jealous. Wait a second. They brought that Comedy Central
show back? Yeah. Oh, it's on, man.
Oh, yeah. No.
It was, it was
such a fun live taping.
Like, live tapings usually
are awful. Like, I don't
recommend going to them. It's so, it sounds
like so much more fun in theory, but Battlebots
was a very good time. I got an email
two weeks ago offering VIP box
tickets to BattleBats
for only 100 bucks. I was like,
damn you, pandemic?
Yeah.
Dude,
a hundred bucks
a piece to go
watch battle.
No,
not even a piece
dude for the box.
Oh,
wow.
That's a feeling.
That's super worth.
Yeah,
I really wanted to go.
That I would definitely do.
I would,
I'm curious what the foods,
it's got to be a grilled cheese sandwich.
It's a lot of buffalo wings.
Yeah.
Tons of buffalo wings.
Absolutely.
Dominoes.
Mm-hmm.
No,
it's like, oh, you get there.
Oh, yeah,
you could order whatever you want.
There's a guy outside.
You can just like,
deliver food.
Order.
to your delivery box.
Yes, exactly.
Yeah, so the leprechaun breaks out
of this briefcase kills
Mrs. O'Grady
immediately, which is a little too bad.
And then Mr. O'Grady,
dude, blowing holes in this lepracon
with this fucking handgun he's got.
This is kind of great.
Yeah, my favorite is he's holding up a four-leaf clover
and a gun.
And the camera is focusing on the four-leaf clover
and lepercon is like, where did you get?
that put that down and I'm like I think it's he's talking about the gun too like remove the camera
I thought at first because I didn't realize like four leave clovers were supposed to be like you know
a cross in the exorcist or something or two yeah that's how he's old today but I thought like this
oh grady was threatening to shoot the four leaf clover you fucking killed my wife now I'm gonna kill
you four leave clover it is interesting that you can't use a cross on them because I guess
Jesus is cool with the leprechaun.
Dude, it would just power him up.
Yeah, the Catholic iconology.
Yeah, just all of the icons and stuff.
Yeah, it just gives him powers.
Yeah, you get really powerful.
Idolatry.
Yeah.
If it was an actual crucifix, like with the little figure,
you know, with the action figure Christ on it.
Yeah.
That's kind of a washboard abs Christ.
Yeah.
I had an early kinship with leprechaun.
Lepricon doesn't,
He doesn't work on Easter.
He's taking that off.
That's time for family.
Every Sunday, you know.
Chris,
what does lepricon give up for Lent?
I was literally going to ask that, James.
What does he give up for Lent?
Kellen.
Chris,
are you positive that Jesus hung out with leprechaun?
Is that what you're getting at?
No, I'm saying I had an early kinship with the leprechaun in this movie
because I laughed very hard when this lady went down the stairs.
Oh, we did so did.
Her neck makes an amazing crunch.
I like at the beginning he doesn't have his powers.
Like, I've got to make it look like an accident.
Do you know what I mean?
In case the police get involved.
And somehow, I don't know the specific of like the specifications of leprechaun's powers.
But apparently they include giving an old man a stroke.
I don't know what.
Like I guess I think that's a thing where like one, this dude is totally loaded.
Right.
He might have some motion sickness from that limousine ride.
His wife was just murdered in front of him.
I think it's just too much for this old.
heart.
He has this stroke, right?
That's what I said.
That's the version of this I like better is
Leopardon didn't really do anything.
It's just this guy was working so hard
carrying stuff up and down the stairs
and he had a hard attack.
This is after he's dragged his wife's
up from the basement.
And to be fair, maybe Leopardone's powers
is it to give someone a stroke but to sense
when someone's going to have a stroke.
Because he does start talking shit before happens.
Oh, it's going to happen.
It's like, oh, I smell me burning toast.
it's like a dog how a dog can smell when you're like
yeah animals always know
uh yeah so he goes down and also like points off movie
it's completely irrelevant that you're like
showing this guy alive like later in the film just let this old bastard
be dead well that little trip that trip to the
I think somebody like in the middle of the movie is like you know we've been
at this house an awful long time want to go to a nursing home sure
okay oh it's a nursing home not the hot because I was
like, do they just go back and forth between the house and the hospital multiple times?
Yeah, oh, yeah, we're told at one point in some like nursing home that they drive to for two seconds.
Yeah.
And it means really nothing.
It's kind of just like another scene for him to scare people.
Yeah, that's funny.
Is it like kind of scooting around in the wheelchair?
And he like shoves that dude in the ceiling of the elevators that he falls down.
Which I don't know.
Like, there's so many inconsistencies with like what this powers are or whatever.
But like, how does he get that?
guy up there and
why there?
And how does he like fall through at that moment?
He just crashes in on Jennifer
Aniston who I don't even know if we've mentioned
once yet. Oh right. Yeah, this was her motion picture
debut. I guess there was something
if the IMDB trivia is to be believed
and I don't know, of course it's not.
But apparently like
it claims that Jennifer Aniston
for years like said that
this movie didn't exist
and that like Warwick David
was warwick davis was like no
it definitely fucking existed like
and he claimed that like for years
he'd been pleading with her
to acknowledge it and I guess
she just said that like finally
she was like yeah but I just thought I was shitty
in it so I didn't like talking about it or whatever
it was released on VHS
it's how it happened you're talking
about we all know
my understanding is that she simply
wouldn't acknowledge it
up until I think only a year
or two ago she finally
was like, yes, I was in Lepricon.
But I believe that because I think this was filmed in 91.
I think there was a long delay before it's release.
So if that's true, she's like 20, 21 years old.
She is a baby.
I have a list of celebrities that I think of when I think of, you know,
people we want to interview for the podcast where there's celebrities that
have been in like one horror movie and I want to get them and only talk about that.
Like I want to interview her and only talk about this.
I also want to interview Jennifer Lopez and only talk about Anaconda, like nothing else.
Renee Zellwiger, the fourth Texas chainsaw?
Yeah, like, oh, welcome like so-and-so from Texas chainsaw four.
Renee Zellweger.
Like, that would be so fun.
You could do like double up, get her and McConaughey on there.
Exactly.
And Vigal, Morgensen.
Oh, that's right.
And Vigar, of course.
Yeah, yeah.
Exactly.
You could do, what else you could do?
Kevin Bacon, Friday the 13th.
Yep.
I like a solid one.
I like the idea of Warwick,
Davis, like, just badgering Jennifer Aniston being, like,
acknowledge our child together.
Please notice me, semai.
Yeah.
We made a beautiful movie together.
What's wrong with you?
What I was wondering is if the guy who plays her love interest in this ever, like,
drunk called her a few years later when she was on friends and just been like, hey, Jennifer,
connected.
Because, like, was friends 93 or was that 94?
It was right after. I think it was 94, but, like, right after, yeah.
So crazy.
Yeah, that dude
Maybe still had that phone number
Check to see if it worked
And she had definitely moved by the time
That all happened
He's like fuck
To be fair, she's lucky this movie came out in 93
Like obviously there was a long delay or whatever
Because that's always funny when that happens
When like you make a movie
It doesn't go anywhere because nobody cares
And then it becomes a hit
And then it's like, Friends is Jennifer Anderson
Is Lepra God
I think of Cabin in the Woods
Chris Hemsworth
Granted Cabin in the Woods is a good movie
But it is weird.
He's such a weird small role in that.
Yes.
And that came out later.
It's bizarre watching him in that movie.
Yeah.
I would like to think that Jennifer Aniston was like denying it, denying, denying,
and someone asked her like a year or two ago.
And she just saw, she was about to say, deny it again.
She saw a bright orange shirt in the audience and just was like.
Can we talk about that guy's shirt?
I did it.
I did the movie.
I did it.
That shirt.
I couldn't, that shirt, honestly, all of the wardrobe in this movie and just the, the set deck choices.
Like, that guy's shirt is so bright.
The camera, like, loses the, like, the visual data of that guy's body.
It's so bright.
And it turns his skin bright orange.
It's so upsetting.
Yeah.
It's the sun.
It's, you cannot look at anything else when it's on screen.
Like, you know that they just told all the actors, okay, bring like three shirts.
And then that was the best.
one.
And it was like, all right, nope, this is a Chicago
Bulls jersey, can't use this. I guess we have
this bright orange
monstrosity. Awesome.
Thanks a lot, Derek.
Everybody else could literally wear garbage
because, I mean, it's all going to be there.
Well, the love interest is
dressed like Aladdin.
He is. He's a little dressed like Aladdin.
This guy, actually, speaking of
um, speaking of
basket case, he looks like Kevin, what the fuck
from that movie. Oh, Dwayne and that? Oh, yeah,
Dwayne's running down the streets of New York
Budass naked
Absolutely
Yeah that's oh yeah
The famed nudity on Central Park South
I forgot about that that movie
So she's this like haughty
Yuppie lady that wants that
We gotta say Steve excuse me
10 years later
Oh okay
After the O'Grady incident
And this fucking four leaf
Clover song what 99 cent
Ben you get that shit out of
It was it was written by the guy
Who made the music for this movie
so it's an original piece.
It is a leprechaun original.
And that is you are saving some cash.
It's like I want you ladies to sound like the chorus.
Do it again until you sound like the cores.
When is Mondo going to put that one out?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
There's a lot of people that would buy that.
We would buy it.
I have a horror score on vinyl that you guys would appreciate.
I have the original nightmare in Elm Street.
Oh.
Nice.
What I got?
Halloween 3, Chud.
Got some horror scores on vinyl.
Chopping Mall?
Ooh, that's a good question.
Chopping Mall.
Serino.
That chopping malls is that Peter Donagio?
What?
Chopping Mall?
What about it?
I don't know.
I was asking if that was Pino deonadio.
No, that's Chuck Serino.
Oh, Chuck Serino.
Okay.
So, Steve, you were saying she's like,
Jennifer Aniston's like a rich girl in this movie?
I guess so, like, I'm curious why, like,
A, how old is she?
I assume she's supposed to be like 20-some.
early 20s in the movie and
she's spending the summer with her dad
and she talks about Los Angeles
and she's like I don't understand what
and is the dad flipping the house is that what we're doing
we're doing a house flip or they're fucking living there
that's what's okay listen this this movie
features a walk and talk and leprechaum
that kills people by biting and scratching them
and shit but the most unbelievable
confusing part of this movie is what is going on
with this house because the movie the
movie forgets at one point who even lives in the house.
Yeah. And that's a great question, Steve. Like, are they flipping it or are they living there
for the summer? Is this her new home permanently? I don't know. But I am also concerned
about her lack of geographic spatial awareness. Like, where are we in Nevada?
No, she says, she thinks they're in New Mexico. Or New Mexico. North Dakota. Those are very
different places. Dude, and the dad is just like, don't you mean North Dakota? And she's
He's like, whatever, it's all the same shit.
You're like, wait.
Do you see any Mexican culture around here?
Jennifer Aniston.
There is no fry bread here.
I'm wrapped up in the whole paint color scheme because not only does the father not tell her that people are coming by to paint the goddamn house.
But did he pre-select that it would be bright, the brightest blue with the brightest red shutters possible?
It's awful.
because at first I'm thinking
which is another
inexplicable part of this movie
is the two other characters
that show up, the painters
who are, I don't know
what age is they're supposed to be, I don't know how
they're related, I don't know what's going on.
I don't know how they're related, yeah.
But I thought at first like, oh no,
they're painting the house blue
because they're, they goofed up.
But then no, later, they're working
on the trim and yeah, it's this bright red.
And then the entire inside,
all I could think of to describe it
was clown bravel,
Like, it's nasty.
Yeah, this is a house where you would pay a clown to have sex with you.
Absolutely.
Anyone out there got an address?
It's like all primary colors and stripes.
It's like all primary colors and stripes and it's awful.
I mean, these guys should be fired.
I mean, this is why the hunk who, like, apparently runs the painting business,
you shouldn't go into business with a fucking 10-year-old kid.
Chubbs from fucking Teen Wolf
who has a mental disability
we should say that they make a really
point to do it which I think
I would say the movie doesn't need it
Oh really?
I think it thinks it's a natural pairing
because it's like well Ozzie's mentally
impaired and he's got a child
like mind and Alex here
has a child so he has a child
like mine. He's got a fucking serial killer
mind this kid dude.
This kid's freaking out. This is a little
you know, take care of a leprecha?
You fucking shoot him with a bad.
You just shoot him in the fucking head.
You want to bleed out on your shoes.
It's so insane the lines that give this kid.
You know that guy's fucked up.
I mean, he was in this movie.
Don't tell him I'm the babysitter's dead.
He's the little brother in that movie.
Ozzy to me is always Francis from Pewy's big.
Sure.
Which is my favorite movie of all time.
I was very excited to see him show up.
I think he's great.
I just want to give him some credit here
Because I think this character
Like he's genuinely sweet
And you feel really bad for him
Like Jennifer Aniston's on the verge
Of calling him the R word
This entire movie man is
You know, I was shocked
It didn't happen
Stunning right
Stunning that that word's not used
Because this was I mean
1991 you're making this movie
Primo time to be slinging
Yeah absolutely
Honestly seven years later
That's coming out
Oh absolutely
It was cut
I think it was cut for sure
I'll wait a second though
Because we're talking about
I just keep calling him Chubs from Teen Wolf
But his character
Ozzy in this movie
I saw an IMDB
This dude reprised the role
And the most recent one
In that one that's not bad
I'm telling you
The 2018 sci-fi leprechaun returns
Is not bad
You're gonna make the box
You're gonna make the way
It's not that bad
With the laurels around it
We looked at 45 poll quotes
and that's the best we can do.
Wait, so is he talking about the events of the first film?
Yeah.
He like warns them.
I know that Halloween 2018 came out
and was a direct sequel to the first one
and now that's the new trend.
Leprecon returns.
Did that before Halloween.
That it is a direct sequel to the first one
featuring Ozzie.
And the lead in it is the daughter of Jennifer Anderson's character here.
So it ignores all the Vegas and stuff.
space shit and is a direct sequel to this one.
Right. So you don't have to address how he got back
from the moon or whatever.
And how he's maybe technically
an alien species.
In the fourth one, they never once say the word leprecha.
Oh my God. There's a planet Ireland
out there.
Dude, you know that's a Star Trek
episode somewhere. Oh, no.
They're all like
them. Just drink
the Jameson and try to blend in.
I have to say that is.
is the dude. Oh, Grady, not to backtrack, but O'Grady getting out of the limbo, pounding the last bit of a Jameson bottle. And I was like, wow, that guy better be careful. The last time I did that, I peed in a closet. I mean, that definitely was like part of the recipe for that horrific stroke, I think, was for you. I think he probably peed in Joseph's limbo.
I think the big thing to remember about Jennifer Anderson's character is she is a, a,
favorite type of
the 90s.
An annoying PC daughter.
Yes. She loves
Avion water. Avion is always
the kind of gag brand
for that character where it's like, oh, she's so
snotty. She wants Avion water.
And also, though, not for nothing. A
watercress salad, also
same characters are, they're
drinking and eating the same thing.
But you know what that's L.A. for you,
right? You guys
are doing. You're on L.A.
All I eat is water chestnut salad
Yeah, I knew it
I fucking knew it
We're recording this on the stream yard
I can see you guys right now
James is eating a huge bowl of spaghetti
He's lying
She's got this big toothy asshole
fucking negging her this entire movie
This guy is an asshole
Aladdin, yeah he sucks
She looks like Kevin Bacon's stunt double
Yes
One of his lines in this
He's like you know how to use one of the
A broom.
Yeah.
One of my favorite lines of his
that is so inexplicable, even in context.
He says something like,
I haven't met many guys who are afraid of houses.
Excuse me.
Never met me, dude.
Yeah, I'm terrified of houses.
He also, there's the part where he's like teaching
Jennifer Aniston how to paint.
And she does like two like brushstrokes
against this shingle and he's like,
oh my God.
you're amazing at this.
Like everyone in this tells Ozzy he's stupid,
but it's like, you guys.
Yes, exactly.
Like, come on.
There's a moment where they come out of the house
and Ozzy's covered in paint
and it's just like, so I guess there you go.
She's not dumping it on her own body.
Yeah, that's true.
Thank goodness for small favors in this movie.
I need to confront Eric about something
because I was looking on IMDB at some photos.
Oh, no, thank you.
I'm okay.
of Mark Jones
who directed this film
I think Eric traveled back in time
and directed leprechaun.
Look at the picture I just put in the chat.
Yes.
Oh my God.
That looks exact.
That might be you.
Oh my God.
That actually, I think that is me.
Is that doctored?
It's him.
Oh, my God.
Oh, by the way,
by the way, he's wearing a hat
that says lepricon.
Yes, he is.
Oh, my God.
I was just telling James,
I wanted to do, like, the most, like, obscure, like, no, no, we're supposed to be a costume where he is Ozzy and I'm the kid with, like, the red and yellow stripes.
And then, Eric, you can be Mark Jones with the plant and the hat.
I could even try to do this pose he's doing here.
It's him giving Jennifer Aniston direction on the set.
They're on stairs, they're having a conversation probably about leprechauns, I would imagine.
Sure.
Or painting a house.
We are going to post this.
I'm emailing this to myself
so I remember.
We have to post this.
Like, yeah, sure, Mark.
Okay.
Yeah, got it.
What's cool, too,
is like his main photo is him old
so I can see what I'm going to be.
There you go.
You don't need one of those
face apps, dude, right there.
Mark, I don't know why you keep on
bringing up the importance
of leprechaun come.
I don't know why you keep on
and the genitalia too.
I don't need to know that
for my character.
What about Irish babies?
What are you talking about, Mark?
Why are you talking about Irish babies?
He's talking about Irish
Irish twins specifically.
Yeah, every night, that's right.
Oh, question again about this house.
Clear out that fucking basement.
I mean, no, it's not a question,
but clear out that fucking basement.
What do we do?
That and also this dad, what is this dad's problem?
He's moving in this house.
They're going to sleep there.
The cobwebs have not been cleared out.
This set design here just makes no fucking sense.
So you're trying to unleash the leprechaun if he had
swept it up, the leprechaun be out already.
Okay.
So fucking write your movie better.
It's stupid.
I just realized that
the dad never
sees the leprechaun
ever. Like he's going to
come back from the hospital after staying
there to get some stitches
question mark. And then it's this like
so we exploded
the well in the front yard because there was
a lepricon.
Yeah, that dude disappears from this movie.
It's ridiculous.
The ambulance goes to the edge of movie town
and he just vanishes.
Yeah.
You don't,
they never even say like, yeah,
they never say like,
oh,
they kept him overnight for observation or whatever.
I mean,
it's a bite.
No,
they definitely do.
Do they say that?
She says that and it gets him out of the movie.
And I think it's because foolishly,
they decided that aside from the prologue of this film,
it's a one crazy night movie.
And you got too many people running around
not able to capture this leprecha.
And also like,
we're not really concerned about a kill count here.
So it's like,
keep the kill count super low.
Get this dad out of here.
Because otherwise, like, you just got,
there's just a bunch of fucking extra weight
on this movie.
Kill the dad.
Oh, yeah.
Kill the dad.
Kill the dead.
Kill the dead.
We're trying to hypnotize our younger listener.
I'll tell you why they can't bring him back, though,
is because the other thing that can kill
that leprechaun is that orange shirt.
It sets him ablaze immediately.
I thought it looked a little more red when I saw it,
but maybe my eyes.
It's a burnt red orange, I think.
Yeah, I think it's kind of between.
It's like Joaquin Phoenix and her a little bit.
Yes.
Yeah, totally.
Totally, totally, totally.
You know, I could do a leprechaun setting if you want.
I could sound like a lepricon.
That's my Scarlet Johansson impression.
You're dating your lepricon?
You're dating your leprone.
He goes to Rooney Mara.
Like, yeah, I'm okay.
It's me and the lepricon.
Everyone has a leprechaun.
but you're dating your leprecha?
Uh, so,
uh, whatever. They,
who goes down to the basement here?
Is this chubbs, lots of mouth?
Ozzy, obviously.
Yeah.
Uh, uh, it's also kind of hilarious.
We didn't mention this, but like, when Mr. O'Grady is trying to kill this guy,
he's got the, he's got him in the crate.
He nails the crate shut and puts the, the four-leaf clover on top of it.
And then, like, dumps a bunch of gasoline, but does not,
stay conscious long enough to light that fuse.
So also, like, if we're not cleaning this basement,
there's just open gasoline containers everywhere.
Very dangerous.
Very dangerous.
Probably smells good, though.
Oh, yeah.
Gas smells good.
I love that smell, man.
I do too.
We start huffing it.
Yeah, no, for sure.
That movie Love, what was it, Chris?
Love Liza.
Oh, my God, gets me every time.
I'm like, I want to live that way.
Huffing gas and that movie left and right.
Yeah.
I mean, it's, since it's like.
Temptation Street for Eric.
We've gone to horror nights twice at Universal already to like film stuff
and they run around with chainsaws there.
The entire park smells like gasoline.
It smells so good.
Right afterwards they should do a Love Liza tour or something.
I genuinely thought you were about to say that they have a Love Liza
Philips Seymour Hoffman guy at the Halloween nights.
It's one of the stops on the tram.
Actually, that's pretty good though, one of those like open-air horror things.
things and just smells like gas because otherwise Lord knows what it smells like there to be completely
honest. Yeah, yeah. Sweat and fear. Very sweaty.
Sweat fear and more sweat. Yeah. So, oh, so the whole thing too is like she is fucking
busting this dad's balls about how shitty this house is. She can't even believe it. She's
going to stay at a hotel in town, all this stuff. And this dude is like ready to go. He's like,
all right, you know what? You've made fun of me long enough. We're going to go to a hotel now.
But then when she notices, like, this dude, Nathan, she's like, oh, no.
No, I'll stay here, Dad.
Don't worry about it.
This dude, dad's totally fucking clueless as to what's going on here.
There's a great line of dialogue in that exchange that he got a great buy on the house.
And she says, from who?
Dracula?
Adam.
There's also a tarantula down there.
Yeah.
Legit tarantula.
It's looking like arachnophobia down there.
Just like very specific.
Just like, just so tarantula, like the perfect.
spot. Yeah, it's very
deliberate. I also can't tell if she
decides to stay out of
having a crush on this dude, or
if she wants to prove him wrong that she's
afraid of the house.
I can't tell either way.
It's a little flirty,
a little, but also like, I'm not afraid of nothing.
I'm 26 years old. Like, yeah,
also, the end to most horror movies could and should be
is like, you want to just go to a hotel? Yeah, let's
do that. That's literally,
that's always the answer. It's always a
great idea. One of my favorite
things in this is when she's on the
phone with the hotel at first. She goes
give me, yeah, I want really tall
ceilings. She's like, give me your tallest
room. Like, give me your tallest
route. Sir? Like, is that a
request? Like, I know you can request to be on like
a higher floor.
Sure. That's what I thought she meant.
But yeah, I need your cathedral
ceiling room, please.
It sounds nice. I do love
that she has a portable phone in 1991.
That she calls her portable.
Oh yeah, you better believe she says portable.
My portable.
Wow.
And it's like this huge red fucking brick.
Oh, it's great.
I just want alternate cuts where everybody just goes to a hotel.
The conjuring ends immediately.
They just like, oh, yeah.
This kind of sucks.
You want to just go to a hotel for a?
Yeah, okay.
And then the movie's over.
Dude, there you go.
It was short film, right?
Because everyone had the third one,
we shouldn't be making any more of them.
But you fucking do conjuring for,
fuck it.
And it's just like,
The two of go to a house, there's a ghost.
Fuck it. And they go to a Best Western.
That's the end of the movie.
Totally great.
That's definitely what Ellen Burstyn should do in The Exorcism.
Exactly.
Re-cab it, honey.
So, like, in Jennifer Aniston's, like, attempted
flirting with this dude who's, like, being nice with him.
He's, like, down doing something in the basement,
and whatever it is, it's not clearing out the cobwebs
because they are there for this whole film.
But she goes down with, like, this tray of iced tea,
and it's like, uh-uh.
I'm not drinking any open.
containers while down there. The dust that's getting in. No, no, no. Come up here and have this
ice tea. And instead, she fucking gets spooked, I think maybe by that spider and spills the ice tea all
over the leprechaun, which is kind of hilarious. His wake-up call is getting douched with raspberry
ice tea. Also, he's been sleeping for 10 years and like, like some, some glasses is what wakes
him up. Yeah, that's weird. Like, you didn't wake up when the fucking house hunters came and
filmed the dad looking at this piece of shit.
Must-haves include
a spooky basement
and really tall ceilings.
Close to downtown.
They all want to be close to downtown
on that show and I'm like, fuck you. You're moving
to the suburbs. Like, that's your choice.
You want to be close to downtown, stay in the city,
you idiot house lovers. And it looks around
you know, it's not really
painted like Superman's house. Well, it could
be painted like Superman's house.
If you wanted it, sir, you have
to imagine yourself here.
It's just a cosmetic change.
Sir, you're really going to have to take that shirt off before you go on screen.
It's just blaring out the colors.
Our camera guy can't do anything here, man.
It's competing with the red and blue house.
We have a nice white button up for you, sir.
I also love Ozzy speaking of bright colors.
Like, there's some funny business with the paint.
And he totally does a David Cross, I blew myself.
Like, this dude just covered in bright blue paint.
God damn, that's in bright blue paint.
God damn, that's embarrassing.
He's got like a circus outfit on, too.
They're all dressed like a circus.
He's got paint overalls over a button-up red shirt.
Again, bright red with a bunch of little paint brushes on.
He's dressed for the part.
Yeah.
The part where it's three guys who paint,
even though one of the guys is a 10-year-old,
another is friggin.
I don't even know.
I don't know what's up with us.
We got to talk.
Because, like, is he supposed to be an adult?
because they referred to Ozzy and the other kid as like kids.
Yeah, they're like, oh, they're kids.
They're out on the town doing kid stuff.
When Ozzy is clearly like 30 years old.
Yeah, it's the mind of a child.
That's all.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
I don't know, man.
Because the relationship is, I think Alex is a toothy man's little brother, like the
hunky dude.
That makes the most sense.
Wait, but hang on a second.
Hang on a second, though.
Oh, they do.
Chelsea, are you wondering, though, if Ozzie in this movie is like
fucking Martin Short
in Clifford.
I just told her
about that movie.
She didn't know about it.
I've never seen.
Oh my gosh.
I know.
I know.
I think Martin Short is really scary.
I have like a weird irrational.
She is Martin Short a burst.
I think he's,
I find him very upsetting.
You will be terrified of that movie then
because she's aged down
and he's running around
with the fucking leprican on it.
I love it.
Charles Groden's a great foil for that.
He should have been in a lepricon movie.
He does,
he does be.
very lepreconesque though
Steve you're totally right
the Alex Ozzy relationship
to me was much more of a George
Lenny
Alex being the George
and then Ozzy poor Ozzie being the Lenny
and this kid will shoot this kid
guy in the back of the fucking magnum
dude
he's just waiting for someone to give the word
yeah not even out of like a really
upsetting empathy it just be like
just to see what happens
oh you took the words right out of my mouth
Just to see what happens.
I'll fix your fucking brain.
Yeah, I'll give you a new brain.
It is weird.
I was just thinking about this,
like thinking about this scene
because Jennifer Aniston is like,
oh, you're covered in paint.
Like you can go, you know,
use the shower and whatever.
It is, because she is like,
she's such a massive fucking celebrity, right?
It's weird watching her in this,
like just interact with nobodies.
You know what I mean?
It's very weird watching her interact with nobodies,
I feel.
Yeah, it's weird.
I'm trying to think of other
celebrity, where it's like movies like
this where you watch and you're like,
this, it just feels weird to watch them
being. And how many of them have
that friend's money, you know?
Yes, totally. Right, exactly.
Jennifer Asid. Huge.
Totally. Because even like Kevin Bacon,
you know, being in that first Friday of the 13th movie,
like, I don't think Kevin Bacon's got
friends money.
No. And he was also in like tremors.
He's fine.
Like he's been in like genre stuff.
That's like, it was such a one,
to two leap for her
really. Although Steve, she was on that
sketch show we were watching a little bit of last night
which I actually thought was kind of cool what I watched
of it. The edge, right? The edge
was like a, it was like white in living color
like foxes. Oh boy.
It was like an edgy sketch
show around that time.
Did they have a black Jim Carrey?
They did. Only one black guy.
A bunch of white people was Tom Ketty and Mr. Show, Jill Talley
at Mr. Show. Jennifer Brown was like
the lead kind of
everything and Wayne Knight
is messing around in there. A little
Alan Ruck for you folks.
Alan Ruck. Oh my gosh, Alan Ruck.
Alan Ruck, who's a player in this company
on that show, not good enough
to make the opening credits of the edge,
I guess. And Tom
Kenny, I'm seeing. Yeah,
yeah. Yeah, it's not, I mean, look, I was surprised
it held up even at all. It's not great, but
it was, I was laughing on YouTube a little bit.
Was it supposed to be edgy? Was that the whole thing?
Yes, it was. Like, the bit is
every, uh, they start every episode by the whole cast, uh, is talking to you and they get murdered
in some sort of a way. And it's like, oh, that's kind of something. You know, it's, it's edgier, you know,
you know, looking at the one, looking at when the one season ran, this would have been after
Jennifer Anderson filmed Lepricon before it came out. So I bet her entire experience on this show was
dread thinking about this movie coming out. Waiting for the time bomb of Leprikaans release. Yeah.
I mean, the opening sketch that I watched was them being like,
oh yeah, like we heard all your, like,
we got your letters from last week or whatever
and trust us, like, the problem has been solved.
And Jennifer Aniston, or someone says like,
oh, well, what problem is that, Wayne Knight?
And he's like, the big knife or the sword or something like that.
And Jennifer Anderson says, what sword?
And the gag is a sword falls from the ceiling
and decapitates all of them.
And like, you see it.
Like, there's just like puppet dummies of them on stage gushing blood.
It's incredible.
we're definitely
overselling it by a lot
but they also
they got into some fucking hot soup
with Aaron Spelling
because they had a recurring
sketch about 902 and oh
where they just made fun of Tori spelling
nonstop
and he threatened to sue them
that's cool
speaking of people
of stars of this movie
anyone I didn't look at the special thanks
but according to IMDB
Warwick Davis
George Lucas received
a special thanks credit because Warwick Davis
was under contract to him and he gave Davis
permission to film in the movie. Yeah.
Yeah, I'm just buying all the little people
that have been in my movies, man. I make him sleep in my
fucking garage, dude.
I'm stunned for the vault I have for him. He lives in a
vault. Sometimes I like to see an
Ewalk making my coffee.
Yes, Warwick, I suppose you can star at him
movie, although there is a birthday party that Wicket needs to appear in this weekend.
So if you can squeeze that in, and also a special thanks.
Thank you very much.
Oh, and $40,000.
Did you catch the second special thanks?
You can tell us that.
That is amazing.
Vice President Dan Quail.
Oh, yes.
Literally, that's how it is listed.
I posted a picture on my Twitter last night.
Did you write it?
No, so apparently, well, that would be wonderful.
He apparently helped expedite Warwick Davis's work visa to come work in the United States to make this.
I thought it was going to be like a potato connection between like the famine and.
This is him making up for that.
His like penitents to the Irish.
I'll help get lepricone made.
That's why he couldn't write the screenplay though, Kevin, because he'd be fucking riddled with spelling.
Ask your grandparents who Dan Quayle is.
Indeed.
Oh, yeah.
So this is,
Tubbs is down in the basement or Ozzy.
Man, I am just going to keep calling.
Francis.
Yeah.
This guy's played so many classic characters.
Or John Wayne Gacy.
Or John Wayne Gacy.
Ooh, fuck.
Yeah, so he's down in that basement.
This is where he starts hearing
the leprechaun is singing
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.
And the lepricon escapes right.
What happens?
He knocks the crate over?
some shit? Yeah, he
just busts out of there pretty much.
He knocks the
Oh, that's right. Ozzy knocks the four-leaf clover
off of it. So now he's not...
I guess it's like if a four-leave clover is on top
of this box, it's like a million pounds
to this leprechaun, like you can't move it.
For 10 years, wouldn't it be like dust
at this point?
It's all blackened and basically dust.
So, yeah, I don't know.
Yeah, like how far does that go? Like, if it's
all dead and it starts crumbling
to, like, when does it stop being a four-leaf over?
Yeah, if we need to know when, like, magic runs out of certain objects.
Yeah, that's true.
There's never been a windstorm in North Dakota in the last, what, 10 years just never happened.
Either way, the screenplay is not going to do the work and tell you any of that, so don't worry about it.
So this is like, yeah, Warwick Davis kind of threatens him here a little bit and then he has to go out and, like, tell everybody.
And, of course, they don't believe him because he's Ozzy and he's the quote-unquote simple guy and whatever.
Which I guess is the point of making him simple.
that's like it is like to keep
this illusion alive
because other than
you could be outsmarted by a leprecha
I guess so
well I guess for when he has to do shit
like oh and there's a rainbow
let's go everybody
it's a magic rainbow yeah
it's a magic rainbow
but he was right
see that's the thing
like this this you know
this children see everything
more pure
men with child minds
such as myself
see things more pure
I've always said you were the purest one
on this podcast. It's very true.
It's very true. Put down to
rabbit, Eric. Yeah, like,
why not just have it be that the
kid sees him and no one believes
because the kid is a precocious
kid. And by the way, as far as
as precocious kids go, I usually hate him.
I don't mind, Alex. He's not the
worst. He's still a disgusting shit boy.
Thank you, Eric. Thank you, Eric.
The term we've coined on the show. As far
as disgusting shit boys go, he's not
the worst. No, he's not such, I mean,
he goes to get Ozzy, like,
Nobody believes him.
There's this whole long scene
where everyone goes down.
And they keep doing this.
We're like, oh, it's that rat.
That's what a leprechaun was.
And Ozzy has to be like,
do you think I would come upstairs
and think a fucking
three-inch rat is the same thing
as a fucking man wearing a hat?
A tiny man with an Irish accent wear a guy.
I know that I have some issues.
I know the difference between a tiny man wearing a hat,
a fucking rat, okay?
Yeah.
There's rats running around going,
like eating fucking garbage.
And then there's this,
fucking tiny dude dressed
all in green that tells me he's got a fucking
shoe fetish.
They keep doing this too, right?
Because like when she gets her leg felt up and then
scratched by the leprechaun, it's just like,
oh, it was just a cat.
That was a rat. And she goes, no, dad.
I know what it feels like to get felled up.
Okay.
Yeah. And you know what?
When that guy has that line, or when she has that line,
Jennifer Rannison, that guy needs that.
The fuck did you say?
He does do like a, you do?
Yeah.
You do.
But to that point, Eric, they do say the exact same line both times.
They're like, I think we found your leprecha.
It's like, oh, I think we found your possible.
Oh, yeah, thank you.
So they fought, you know, Ozzy and Andy, is Alex rather, you know, they follow this rainbow.
Okay.
And it leads them to this like beat up old truck.
And they look inside and, uh-oh, this is where Mr. O'Grady has hidden the lepracons sack of gold 10 years.
back and this is where this kid is like
oh great Ozzy we should get
this gold to praise because this way we
can afford to have surgery
done on you so you can be smarter
to take this out of this
fucking movie right now. This upsetting scene
where honestly like
Ozzy again
you know what I was mentioning earlier is like
I think his performance here is heartbreaking
because he's like well I'm smart
these two are selling this scene
as well as they can actually do
I mean the guy plays playing Ozzie
He might be the best actor in this movie.
I think he's genuinely.
He definitely is.
Especially since, again, like, to me,
he's always going to be Francis from Pewy's Big Adventure,
who was, like, the least empathetic piece of shit ever.
That was, like, a couple years, or no,
that was a few years before this.
That was 85.
That was, yeah.
I just, I don't know.
He's really good.
But it's kind of funny because later in the movie,
I don't know if it's Jennifer,
someone says to Alex, they're like,
hey man, what the fuck are you talking about?
you can't have, like, he can't have surgery and be smarter.
And he's like, yeah, I know.
Yeah, he doesn't know that.
But, like, why would you tell that to this guy?
He gets fucking hopes up about this.
And also, you break his heart and immediately, like, you need surgery, you fucking
moron.
He's like, do I?
And then you know, it's not even possible.
Yes.
And then he says, yeah, because then people won't make fun of you anymore.
And he's like, wait, people make fun of me.
Well, yeah, not to your face, idiot.
Bye.
It just leaves.
Yeah, they just fucking pieceless.
Oh, my God.
Everyone hates me.
Okay.
I've written all these instances down for you.
Would you like me to go over them for you?
I got them.
And something I've learned in therapy, everyone's making fun of you all the time behind your back.
You just have to accept it.
You know what I mean?
Like, every time you leave a room, everyone's making fun of you and it's okay.
Sorry, Eric.
Yeah, it's heartbreaking.
You know what?
Once I get the surgery on my brain.
Exactly.
Everything's going to be fine.
Flowers for Eric Siska.
That's my new short story.
Might be nice to get something.
Also, this is...
Oh, Grady is like,
oh, I hit it baby.
When he comes back to the leprecha,
like, I hit it really good.
You put it in an abandoned car.
Like, I don't know.
I mean, I guess this is a pre-opioid crisis,
but someone's been sleeping and shitting in there,
rooting around.
Someone has found your gold, like years ago.
I don't know, man.
I have to say, I mean, this is North Dakota.
you know, in, so what should this be?
Like the early 80s, right, when this prologue takes place.
Like, I don't know.
What was there like 500 people living in the state?
You could probably get away with having an abandoned car on your property
and no one's like pissing or fucking in it.
Also, lest we forget, that bag of gold is not visible at first.
It pops in with amazing 1992 graphics just with a little sound effect.
I don't know what triggers it.
I guess them going to the end of a rainbow,
but proximity maybe.
I think it's maybe like a belief where it's like,
we think there's going to be something
at the end of the rainbows than there is.
Kind of like the clover at the end
where it's like if you believe in a four leaf,
you'll find one.
Oh yeah.
It's that purity of heart thing.
Yeah.
The end of this movie with the fucking clap
if you believe in fairies from Peter.
Get the fuck out of here with that shit.
So dumb.
But I mean, to see, point like,
yeah, at least raccoons have bred.
in this next to your goal.
Like, you know,
different animal pisses and shits are around here.
It's the fucking Marge opens the emergency thing
on the monorail home.
Yeah.
Awesome's living in here.
You're finding bitey in there.
Well, yeah, with all that animal piss and shit there,
then Ozzy probably shouldn't be sticking it
in his mouth like that.
Oh, yeah, just bite on it.
I saw it in a cartoon once.
And then he eats it by accident,
which becomes a huge sort of plot point.
Oh, it's a massive fucking plot point.
That plot point makes this movie
15 minutes longer, by the way.
It is followed up in Lepercon returns.
That gold coin being in his stomach
is a plot point.
Oh, man.
Did he get stomach cancer?
That's for all the real fans, okay?
They remember.
You're going to force me to watch this thing.
Lepergan 2, scene one, interior,
bar, biker bar bathroom,
he's taking a painful shit.
It's like the beginning of uncut gems.
Amazing.
You don't have
colon cancer, sir. You have an
enchanted coin up your
ass. Hey, leprechaun, I told you
not to lean on the counter.
Lepricon
can't reach the counter. That's true. He's trying
to hop up there. Those two guys that harass
him on the street might be leprickals.
Kevin Garnett
played for the boss
and Celtics in that movie. It all connects.
There it is. It all makes sense.
You're totally right though,
Eric. Those two dudes that are like friends with
the safeties or whatever that are in uncut jams.
If they're not lepracons, there's some sort of mythical
creatures. Yeah, they are some
kind of fay. They have like
hooves or something.
Yeah, so while that's going on, this is where
this dude is teaching Jennifer Ranniston
how to paint a house and he's like fucking blown
away that she can hold a paintbrush.
And then he's like, oh, go get some of our super bright blue paint cans out of the back of the truck.
And this is where she's, the leprechaun, again, because his fucking shoe and leg fetish here,
he starts like rubbing up on her and tickling her.
And like, I don't know, Jennifer Aniston, four seconds ago, you turned around and that dude was like behind you like 10 feet away.
And then she's like, oh, my God.
Oh, oh, you're tickling my leg.
What are you doing under there?
And I'm like, clearly it's not that guy.
Oh, what a bizarre way to flirt.
Oh, I like this girl.
I'm going to go under the car and grab at her legs.
Wait, wait, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm the only guy that did that.
Climbed under trucks and fondled calves.
Let's, like, let's chrome a key out your dad's house and then I'll go hide under this truck.
Like.
Sexy stuff, man.
Sexy stuff.
I don't know what to tell you.
I really like fondling Achilles heels.
So, like, the leprechaun, like,
scratches her leg or whatever and she starts screaming
and everything and she says
I thought that was you rubbing my leg to which this dude replies
and you let me
which is a little more accusatory like that delivery
it's not great we should have gone again and it should have been like
and you let me and you let me
it's like it's say
it's all negative dude that's the move
as he has to pretend that he hates her guts
and then eventually it's all going to work out
what kind of hussy are you letting some guy
grab your legs under the car.
Exactly.
And then also in this very
same scene is where the dad
hilariously thinks he's like going
after a cat and like sticking his arm
in a hollowed out tree that fell
down. And this leprechaun just bites
his hand. It is fucking hilarious.
One of my favorite shots in this whole
movie is through this tree where it's like
the hole and leprechauns back there
like... He's like licking his lips
after getting a taste of that hand
and it just looks like you're looking through a
telescope, but like through the wrong way.
So now actually, now I'm thinking about this,
George Lucas got a special thanks.
Did he get a VHS tape and how long did he watch it?
Is the question.
I think it's probably at that moment when he's like,
yeah, I'm good.
I'm fine.
That's enough, man.
I fucking got it.
I wonder if Jennifer Aniston never was like,
huh, George Lucas got a special thing.
I'm going to see how he got rid of that Star Wars Christmas special.
You can hold me out here.
You know what, though?
Here's a thing.
She's definitely seen this movie like five times.
Oh, of course.
Yeah, yeah.
She's definitely...
If it's one of her earlier movies, dude, I think, yeah.
It's her first ever movie.
Like, she has this.
Like, she definitely has it.
Because, like, this is a huge moment in your life.
Like, yeah, you know, whatever, you might think you're not great in it.
And it is a horror movie called Lepricon.
So you're only going to get so much quality.
But it's your first thing.
Like she has this tape
Somewhere in her house
Yes, but it's in a vault
With like her
The latest draft of her will
Like
It's not out for people to be seeing
Oh dude, yeah
If I can release this upon my death
Right
Because she still thinks
It's just to make sure
Yeah, she thinks it still hasn't been released
So she's like that's right
10 years after I die
It may come out
She's like oh hey Courtney Cox
I'm doing the day
The Clown cried thing
But with lepricon
Right because that's never coming out right
Would that be cool on the kill count, folks?
The day the clock night.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah, what if Jennifer Aniston has enough?
Like all that friend's money has,
she lives in like a fake world
where everyone around her.
It's like some Truman show kind of stuff
where everyone pretends like, oh yeah,
no one has seen this.
Yeah, yeah.
No one knows what Lepricon is.
Oh, isn't it so weird that horror franchise Lepricon
that starts with Leprocon too?
Isn't that so weird?
What a weird thing.
It's possible to find that first one.
Didn't you love Lisa Kudrow in Lepricon?
Oh shit, dude.
Alternate Dimension where Lisa Kudrow got her to start there?
Absolutely.
I just imagine that she bought as many tapes DVD,
like, and they put it on Blu-ray too.
And she does like a Scrooge McDuck die into these tapes and DVDs and everything every morning.
She's getting them off the street.
You think is what's going on?
Then accidentally financed the rest of the front of the franchise.
Yeah, that's how they made that direct sequel.
They killed like when all like blockbusters and VHS stores went under,
everybody thought it was, you know, Netflix and everything.
It was just her buying all these tapes.
I've also always wondered if Courtney Cox has ever teased her about the horror movies they've been in
because like Courtney Cox was in Scream, which is fantastic.
And it's just like, oh, yeah, hey, Jen.
What horror movie were you in again?
So this guy goes to the hospital
And they're like, all right, we have to rush to the hospital
Everyone climbs it together because I guess
And I think it's a great idea that
Teethy mcunks a lot
Won't leave Ozzy alone
With this kid for too long
It's like, no, Ozzy, why do you come with me?
You know what I mean? Everyone
Everyone could pile in the car together.
We got enough room, you know?
And so they go there
And Ozzy and the kid
They hide the gold in the, what do you call it there?
The well and they want to go to the store
To get it appraised, I guess, is the idea.
The Antiques, the
Joe Collectibles, or whatever
his name is.
Anybody, I mean,
probably not.
Anybody recognize this guy?
Oh, God.
I did not.
No.
John Volstad,
he was on Newhart.
He was the other brother,
Darrell.
Ask your great grandparents about Newhart.
No, but that was the bit
was they would come in.
It was him and another guy,
and the other guy would go,
I'm Darrell, and this is my other brother,
Daryl.
And he was other brother, Daryl.
was this guy working on the store, yeah.
The only reason I'm familiar with that reference
is because it was in a Bloodhound gang
song. It said something about your brother
Darrell and your other brother, Daryl. And I
never knew what it was until this moment.
When you said that, I was like, that's what that's from.
I knew that from Anamaniacs for the same
reason. There was a Daryl, Daryl and Daryl thing.
I think Daryl is. I remember that too.
Yes. Hey, I have to say
Newhart, man, check it out.
It's a fucking comedic genius. Both shows
are good. Is it that
was that New Hart or
or the Bob Newhart show.
Bob Newhart show was in Chicago
and Newhart was in Vermont.
And then one of them ended with it being revealed
that it was a dream from the other guy.
I think the Vermont one ended with him waking up
with the wife of the Chicago.
Yes.
Which they then did a playoff with Breaking Bad
after that ended.
They had a little sketch with Brian Cranston
waking up as Hal being like,
oh, I just had a horrible nightmare.
Dude, I don't know how much of this is a bit.
Obviously that last part was, but what the fuck?
No, that was.
was real.
That was all real.
Don't worry, Chelsea, the one person
listening in a hospice right now
is loving this material.
Oh, finally, they're talking about it.
Mr. O'Grady's loving this.
Yes, he is.
No, but James, you're totally right.
I don't remember where that aired, though,
but I've seen that.
Yeah, that was a thing.
They brought back, I forget the actresses name
who played his wife.
Yeah, Jane.
Oh, Jane, Casimir.
Oh, yeah, I know they did that.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
The milk in the middle, yeah,
I'm a huge milk in the middle.
Stan. Oh, yeah.
We were just ragging on Frankie Moon
his last week as Matt. His Twitter
is amazing. Race car driver
Frankie Moon. Yeah. Uh-huh.
Oh, speaking of tiny race cars, just like
Lepricon. He drives a little... Oh, yeah.
He finds a car that
works at the antique store.
Is it an antique store? Is it a pawn shop?
I was confused by it. It's like a
pawn shop. Has anyone ever pawned
anything? Because I tried it was rejected
once. Oh, really?
Wait a second. Wait a second.
they pawn people will take like the most degenerate fuckers and like whatever they got
bringing in me you got rejected from one of those people i literally i had an ipod nano that i was like
i was a generation at that point i was like i'm kind of a little down on my luck better pawn this ipod
nano and i did and the guy was like i was like what he i know it's not going to be much
i'll take whatever you got he's like i don't want it i was like oh yeah he's
You could not take it.
Eat shit, Steve.
I did that week.
It's all I had.
I had to eat shit to survive.
Dude, I got to say this, so they go to the pawn shop and the guy's like, all right, well,
I'll take a look at this or whatever.
I'll let you know tomorrow.
The kid is like, keep it under wraps.
Don't tell anybody.
And they leave.
And then the leprechaun is there.
And dude, this guy is such a biter.
but like he bites this guy
and it's pretty close to the crotch.
Pretty awesome.
He fucks this dude up.
He really does.
I like that this guy, by the way,
has a book that's,
it's like antique coins of Ireland.
Like, do you could think you had that?
Yeah, wow.
You came to the right pawn shop.
Yeah.
Very small pawn shop.
Not a lot of books.
Not a lot of stuff in there, honestly.
Yeah.
It's the best pawn shop in North Dakota.
This is what he starts driving around his vehicle.
How does he kill this guy ultimately?
Pogo sticks.
Oh, the Pogo Stick.
Oh, yeah.
Classic.
Yeah, this is a long sequence.
It's good, though.
Like, it's nice.
Long because they put it in slow motion for no reason.
Yeah.
But they got a song.
He's singing a song.
Oh, is what I don't get about this kill is he's like, he's like, oh, this on a
and he's like poe going on his chest.
But then they show his face and he has like lesions on his face.
Yeah.
Just like his face is all torn up.
How the fuck did that happen?
Maybe it's a couple like pogos that we missed.
I think.
Yeah.
It makes me with motion, I think.
Also, that is weird where he's, like,
calling himself Lep repeatedly.
Yeah.
That just sounds,
it doesn't sound good.
He calls himself Lep the whole series
because he goes,
Leap in the Hood and I'm up to no good.
Like, he has a whole rap.
Yeah.
Fuck.
He has a whole rap.
The movie ends.
And before the credits roll,
music video of Lepin the Hood.
No.
With his zombie fly girls,
please look it up.
Oh, fuck.
I would be pushing for con.
if not for fear of the Roddenberry estate coming after me,
I would really be pushing for that over lap.
Gee, do you think George Lucas had to give him permission to be in all these movies?
You may go.
But first you must ask.
You may go to the hood.
Yes, you may return to the hood.
Oh, I just got a memo here.
Warwick is looking to go back to the hood.
So he's like the leprechaun for the leprechaun.
Like he has to like outsmart George Lucas in order to get into these movies.
And there was a big, like, there's a three-day thing where we had to like go really like have a powwow because it was leprechaun in space.
Absolutely not.
Yeah.
I own space.
I invented space in a movie.
All right.
All right.
All right.
I've had a change of heart.
You can go to space, but nobody's saying droid.
No robots to be found.
you're my little robot Warwick
Oh you want to work with Ron Howard
A little Willow huh
That's gonna cost you
I think wasn't
He wasn't GL like an executive producer
That's what it is
That's what's gonna cost you
It's now my movie
Underrated movie by the way
I enjoyed Willow
Oh hey Ron Howard
How about George Lucas presents
Willow
Oh you want Warwick huh
Yeah yeah you want
Me too, that means. So you just put me all over this thing.
So there's an extended sequence where Jennifer Aniston and other guy, oh, Nathan, that's his name,
are just like waiting in this diner. This is the fucking watercress salad and Evian scene.
He's eating just like gravy jello. This food looks fucking disgusting. I eat terribly. This looks
disgusting. Well, it's like a salisbury steak, I think, is what we're talking about, which is
Yeah, but more gravy than Salas Berry.
Nice, dude.
And that's powder gravy I'm looking at right.
You bet you're sweet ass.
Oh, totally.
He also, like, judges her for not eating it.
And yet, we cut back and forth to this diner several times across what I can only imagine.
It's day why they cut back.
I feel like they're shooting at daytime.
Oh, he does is pushing around his plate.
Like, again, trying to be done with dinner.
He goes to her, it's just like, you're a little skinny.
You might as well eat something.
It's like, dude, go.
fuck yourself.
Is it possible for you to fuck yourself?
You are the fucking
hired help, dude.
You are a fucking house painter.
What are you doing getting so involved with this
woman's life? It's outrageous.
Yes, her dad got bit on the hand.
Whatever. Drop her home
and that's it. That's it, man.
That's better movie right there. It's like
5.30 rolls around and the paint boys
just leave. Good luck
with all that. I love that the reverse
of that is also true, though, because
when Alex and Ozzy get to the
diner later, Jennifer has said, like,
where have you been? It's like, lady, I
didn't know you this. I've known you for like three
hours, yes. You're totally
right. Why does anybody give a shit
about anybody else in this movie? It makes no
sense to me. No sense.
But this is where the
leprechaun finds, like he robs
this place blind because he's got the little
car and then there's like toys and shit
in the back seat. He takes the toys.
Yeah. No. Dude, he's
fucking some of those later. Oh, definitely.
they're like large stuffed animals
that teddy bears as big as he is
yeah yeah he gets pulled over by a cop
and
you know what he's wearing white
white white socks with black shoes this guy's got to die
very rare for an Irish person
lepracons says acab dude and I'm
with him I'm with you here dude
yeah and dude this cop at least in this scene
it is 100% not quite
synced up ADR it's really
bad it's really bad he pulled
this guy over and I don't know
we don't really get into the mind of this
cop too much but like what is this guy thinking
like I need him on the radio to be like
it's a fucking kid in a little dune buggy
card or some shit like he comes up
to war to the leprechaun and
like not really shocked at all
that there's this little monster in the car
there seems to be a costumed
burn victim
driving around in a small
car I don't know what to tell
you here guys just bring back up
just backup let's get that
That's all I could think of this whole movie is at what point does everyone finally agree that, yes, this is a leprechaun with magic powers and not just a guy in a costume.
It would take a lot to convince me.
It would take a lot.
Like, it could just be a person.
You're right.
Especially because with this lack of magic, he's just fucking biting groins and scratching people.
He chases the cop into the woods in a scene that was actually, that was added later after.
they filmed because they were like, oh, this needs to be more of a horror movie.
So originally the whole interaction with the cop ended with him grabbing his face.
And then they went and shot this like 10 minute fucking sequence of the leprechaun chasing him into the woods and eventually just killing him with the boring ass neck snap.
Yeah, it makes sense.
But like him getting chased is hilarious dude.
And this guy's like, get away from me, you little creep.
It does go on forever.
But also the studio is probably like, hey, this movie needs to be, I don't know, 90.
minutes instead of 70.
Yeah.
But he's holding his fucking
nightstick like a gun at points.
He's like holding it like a rifle.
Yeah, he whips it around. He does that
move and you know that this actor was practicing
that. He's like, oh, he fucking whip the little
handle like that. It looks cool as shit.
This is the best and worst night
of this cop's life.
Honestly, you know he saw that car go by and was like,
oh fuck, finally something.
Yes.
Yeah.
And I guess if it's to be believed, again, this
IMDB trivia and you guys
as fans of this movie may know more than
than I but
Super fans. Like this
writer-director like wrote it as a straight
horror movie and then apparently it was
Warwick Davis who was like maybe
there should be some comedy in it.
Fucking terrible decision.
Yeah. Which one?
Bringing the comedy into it. Bring in the comedy
man. It's like horror comedy
we were talking about this recently because we did
a big episode on American Werewolf
in London and just talking about how like
horror comedy is so, so hard to get right.
Yes. We talk about this a lot on the podcast. Yeah. Yeah. Because like for every, like, I don't know, two horror comedies, there's fucking 15 that are unwatchable. And it's because the comedy just isn't working. And I'm sorry. Like, I don't think anything this dude says or does in this movie is funny. Like I can see where they're thinking it's funny. Yeah. Yeah. Like insert joke here. But like, I don't know. I'm not laughing. I don't think. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't.
think this is funny at all.
It's because they're so half-assed and because, yeah,
they interjected it late into the development of the show.
Also, I have it just playing on mute on my other.
Oh, excellent.
And the cop just chucked his bathe's nice thing in the air.
He just throws it.
Dude, he throws it out of it.
What are you doing?
But in the, in the Leprecon sequels, at least,
they're like, okay, these are comedies now.
And so there is an attempt to write jokes.
They're still bad.
But at least they like know what they're going
for here they're they're so half-assed he's like I don't know
they're just making like barely rhymes at all like yeah not quite puns yeah it's weird
and you also like when you're doing a horror comedy you have to like shoot it differently
and this is shot like a straight horror movie and they have just like garbage jokes thrown in
yeah I just I just don't think it works but yeah this cop getting chased is fucking
hilarious he does have the great like oh there's like his last three lines in a row
are thank God.
Like he sits down on a tree.
He's like, thank God.
Oh, you know, thank God.
Thank God.
And then this leprickon fucking jumps on his shoulder as it breaks his neck.
Very anti-climactic.
Yeah.
He's like the, it gets worse as the movie goes on.
But like his abilities, they're just like all over the place.
Yes.
Like the fact that he can super jump up to get on this guy's head.
Well, and also in this scene, Chris will jump from Mario Brothers.
Oh, you should have Luigi's legs.
Actually, that's very similar to an idea I'm working on for the prequels.
It's called a force jump.
Yeah, so you're getting fucking sued.
I'm curious.
Obi-Wan does that move, pal.
The Italian versus the Irish, the never-ending struggle.
That would be a good movie.
Mario and Luigi versus the leprechaun who's going to win, do you think?
I think Leopardon's going to get.
Oh, you think it's two-on-one, handicapped match?
Yeah, I think they have to.
I don't know, dude.
It depends on like if there's like a flower,
like a four-leaf clove or if you can pick that fire flower
and Mario can start shooting fire at the leprechaun.
And then whoever wins between the Irish and the Italian side,
they get to be white.
Sorry,
I got up to use the bathroom and came back to the best thing.
The best.
I'm all in for that idea.
Because I was thinking earlier like, huh, like what would be the Italian
an equivalent of this kind of movie.
And it definitely is like a Mario
horror.
I mean, that first Mario Brothers
movie, there's some horrific elements.
It's true.
Yeah. Made a straight-up horror
version where he's like shoving pipes
into people.
Oh, totally. Like this surly fat
pig of a plumber
shows up and shadows your door
one day. You sort of
like tinker with
you know, the concept of like
Tetsuo, but it's like fucking
Mario, the pipe man.
Fuck yeah.
I could see that happening.
And he just turns into a bunch of
fucking green pipes at the end of the movie.
You'd better not pay the plumber.
And then Bowser
like fusing together and they're like
our love will fucking destroy this bird
and they stop motion through the streets.
He's doing that like fast motion walk
across the Super Mario world map.
Yeah. I love it.
Did you guys hear about the actual crossover
they tried to do with leprechaun?
No.
with Candyman.
Candyman.
Oh, that's a better.
Tony Todd shut it down.
Yeah, good.
You know why?
Because Tony Todd's a fucking class act.
Yes, he is.
But Warwick was in.
Warwick was like all about it.
What would the tone of that be?
It can't exist.
That is the most incongruous tone between horror movies.
It really is.
Yeah.
Like you could put any other horror movie with Leproon and it would work better.
Chuckie, Freddie, whatever.
Chuckie, I think, is the way.
You know, that's like.
You can't do a thing where it's like
you've got fucking one thing
who's this mystical fucking dumb leprechaun
and then like this mon star
that was like a fucking victim of
an historically like chronicled
hate crime like you just
you cannot have the two
what about hereditary
would that work better baby?
Yes I never wanted to be your mother
dude the lepricons
just fucking naked in that tree house
or whatever's going on
praying to Paymond
Yeah.
How is it?
So that's a question of those.
So this motherfucker hornswaggle
waggled his way into this franchise.
Was Warwick just done?
Was he like, I've humiliated myself enough over the last 20 years?
I don't know.
I know that he didn't do this, the recent 2018 one
because he said it's because he has a young kid
doesn't want to do a horror movie while he has a young kid
when the kid's older.
He's open to coming back.
Fuck, dude.
If he returns, dude, it's like fucking cry macho.
It's like cry leprich.
I would love that.
Dude, he's just wearing the little hat too
and just like shooting through the 90-year-old leprechaun.
He can barely breathe.
He's talking.
He's just saying random shit to a glass of Guinness.
He was that macho.
Watching that new one, though, I did.
I have a lot of respect for Warwick Davis in these movies
because he's so, like, the performance is very good.
The newer one, you can tell how hard it is.
to just be acting, like, under all the makeup and, like, I don't know, to be that animated and stuff, you can, you can, like, see the new one where you can tell he's, like, working really hard to, like, get into a kid.
And this just feels like I'm watching a fucking lepriton around, you know?
A lot of practice, Warwick has had, right?
Yeah, but I think, yeah, he, well, he's so up for this movie because he wants to be, you know, not to be a star, but, like, obviously, like, he's most known to being in a teddy bear costume at this point.
You could say he's an ego hungry maniac.
Yeah, I would say today.
I don't know.
Yeah, you're given the opportunity to be the fucking titular villain in a horror movie.
Like, yeah, of course you're going to do it.
And he smelled that con money too.
He's like, dude, horror cons, I am going to get in.
And I will have a small child.
And you got the fucking Star Wars con.
Like, this is my fucking.
Yeah.
Has he ever, I don't know if we've ever seen him.
Does he ever do horror conventions here, James?
I haven't seen him at any.
But, yeah, he loved this role.
Obviously, he did it for so.
long. But he was, yeah, he was only
20 or 21 in this first movie. Oh,
really? He did not know that.
Wow. So he's super fucking young
in Return of the Jedi then. Oh,
he's a child, I think.
Like around 10 years old.
I've always kind of thought he was a little older.
Yeah, but yeah, man, I got a great deal on him.
I got to this orphanage.
Got in at the bottom floor.
It's technically an
internship, Warwick, so you don't get paid
any money. Look, I just
gave a bunch of nuns some
so they could fix their roof
and they gave me Warwick in return.
It's how it worked, man.
Don't ask me where I got him, okay?
Just don't ask me.
And then when I was done with him,
I shoved him in an Irishman's crate
and walked away.
So he goes back,
everybody goes back,
and this is when like sort of the nult leprechaun
starts to besiege
our intrepid favorite characters,
question.
Sure.
They come back to the house
and the place is fucking ransacked
except, man, and what do you got
fucking Quentin Tarantino in your house?
Dude, the fucking shoes are like
perfectly, like, polished
and cleaned on the table.
And she's looking around like, well, this
is creepy. I expect this kind of shit
in L.A. But up here in North Dakota,
middle of nowhere, I don't
think so. Yeah.
Well, I think if we got QT that all the shoes
would be in the garbage because he's anti-shoe.
It's about the bare foot, my friend.
That's right. Yeah.
Oh, he's like, you know,
hiding all your shoes.
He'd fucking go in there.
man, where do you put a foot, Steve?
You put in a shoe, man.
So he's like the opposite of a leprechaun.
He looks like a little tall and he hates shoes.
He can team up with Mario to fight.
He's Italian.
Yeah, exactly.
That makes sense.
Man, now it's a three on one.
Yeah, then you also have to make it a ladder match, I think.
You know, a Haiti can't match.
Now it's a ladder match.
My God, quitting Tarantino off the top of the ladder.
Bha!
It would be great.
Oh, man.
So, yeah, I think this is when, like, people,
we finally accept, like, 48 minutes in that,
oh, my God, there's a leprechaun and we got to stop him, kind of a thing.
But this is when this dude, this dude, Nathan is taking over.
And this is when I was like, the movie kind of forgot who lives in this house.
Because this guy is walking around and he's like, all right, we got the kitchen cleaned up.
Now we're just, we're going to figure out where everybody's going to sleep.
And I'm like, go home.
Yeah, like, why do you?
care this much. I mean, it's got to be, right? It's got to be all in service of like potentially
getting laid by a 191, Jennifer Aniston. Because like, why do you care? Also, like, if you're,
even if you are this kid's older brother, like, what is the parent situation? I need to know
what's going on here. Is Ozzy like the fucking uncle that the two of them were just left with
after they were orphaned? And the three of them started this fucking three stooges painting
company or something.
That is now my head can for sure
because they don't mention word one of these
parents. Not one big.
Yeah, they feel very like,
I don't know, like weird
like Old West character
where like it would make a bit more
sense if they're just kind of childless
or like parentless kids running.
But like. Yeah.
1991 North Dakota, that is the Old West now.
Yeah.
And that explains why he
sticks around because by North Dakota
North Dakota law, once
you eat meatloaf with a man,
you are married to him.
Oh, that's right.
Common ball, married to him.
Yeah. It's like one of their laws of
hospitality. Do you think that's
why she was turning down the meatloaf at the diners?
She's like, no, no, no, I'm not fucking falling for that
again. I'm planning on murdering you later.
That's the one thing her dad told her
before he disappeared from the movies.
North Dakota customs.
Only I have to eat the meatloaf for it to work.
She just has to be in my
eye line.
you know like forget forget like whose fucking house this is like why is anyone staying here yeah
where was that hotel with the high ceilings well they're about to go but the leprechaun is now like
outside the house fucking with them so they can't go anyway oh it also it's too dark for her
oh yeah she walks outside and he goes actually it's too dark
oh that's right she's like fuck you guys this is weird I'm getting out of here and she does a bad
like she takes one look outside and fucking turns around immediately and it's like oh it's a little
too dark out
Also, like, you don't own a car, so, like, yeah, where are you going?
Yeah, I feel like this part of the movie is just, it feels like nothing happens at all.
It's very formless because, like, he's running outside.
He gets caught in, like, a bear trap that I guess the leprechaun set,
because even though he's a magical being, he has to set a fucking bear trap.
This was the hardest I laughed at this.
This guy is running through the...
the back or front yard of this house
and he fucking like
trips over a bucket that's like
just right, it's clearly just right there
and he goes knee first into this
bear trap and I had to pause it I was laughing
I think I was writing a note I rewound it
and I was like oh what
I look up and he's in a bear trap
that doesn't make any sense
I rewound it assuming that it would
but it did not ultimately
he could have avoided it so easily
it's so
fucking hilarious
And, like, this is like, dude, I am laughing at the parts of your horror comedy that aren't supposed to be funny.
That's a big problem.
Yeah.
There's a moment in this that James pointed out to me makes absolutely no sense.
It's right there after the funniest part of this movie.
It's right after the bear trap.
So it's all of them in a group and they're checking the see if Nathan is okay.
And then in comes the leprechaun from off screen and he just goes, ah!
When he runs at them at an angle to where they would have seen.
him running from like a ways away.
He's not hiding or anything.
He just kind of walks up and is like, hey.
And that's when they like start beating the shit out of it.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
I was also thinking, I mean, I was thinking about Joe Pesci at the end of
casino, but I was also thinking about the scene in
Sean of the Dead where he sinks it up to the queen tune.
Yeah.
They're fucking beating all the zombies like in sync.
Oh, my God.
Like, they are beating the piss out of this guy.
It is hilarious.
Yeah.
And they're shooting him with that shotgun.
Oh, it's beautiful.
So he thinks.
He's like, yeah, I got this and shoots some, like a bush.
Yeah, I got that.
Oh, you get, when he's unloading on that bush, I'm like, dude, save the fucking shotgun shells, man.
What are you firing at right now?
Yeah.
Well, you miss at the beginning, he puts the unlimited ammo code, so he's fine.
Oh, God.
He is just firing at everything, the entire movie.
Yeah, we're going to be battling a leprechaun, unlimited ammo,
and we're not doing slappers only.
That's fucked up.
We're not doing slappers only.
It's guns.
We're doing guns.
This is my monthly plea to the Nintendo gods.
Put fucking golden eye on your goddamn, like, switch classic section or whatever,
and let me play it.
It's never going to happen.
Speaking of the slappers only.
So, yeah, they're trying to figure out what to do this dude's,
is fucking in this bear trap.
And Jennifer Aniston makes the bad call of,
oh, Ozzy, why don't you go call the police?
And, like, he fucking calls.
And he's like, oh, thank God you picked up the phone police department.
There's a leprechaun and he's killing him.
Sent it's a national guard.
Yeah, oh, the army, the Navy, the national car.
And these dude on the other end is like, oh, hey, sheriff,
it's Ozzie again, being fucking dumb.
Dude, this sheriff.
I wanted more of these cops.
This movie needs more of them,
especially the one guy who definitely
was at the JFKSSS
look at him
Sheriff's cigarette you mean
the cigarette you mean the cigarette
Yeah the raisin of a human being
Who has a sheriff badge
Dude it looks like if Lance Henrickson
Now looked more like a raisin
That's what he looks like
He's got second shooter written all over
Absolutely it is crazy Eric
So this was only his second ImbDB credit
Leproon and the Zepruder
Exactly yeah
Horror classic, by the way, would be great on the kill count.
Looking forward to it.
Is that two?
Is that the number there?
I think it's one, right?
The Texas governor, like, got hit.
He's dead.
Is he dead?
Oh, cool.
I don't think he died.
Oh, he's dead now, dude.
That was a long time ago.
Fellas, don't spoil the kill count.
I'm going to watch it.
She's going to perfect this.
It could be a great, like, one minute episode.
It would be cool.
We were in Dallas for a horror convention.
we did go see the, we sat on the very site where it was filmed and that was very exciting.
Do they got a little like sign up or what?
Actually, apparently the city, so if you go, chances are there is like a some kind of symbol.
I think it was like a star when we went on the street where he was shot, but it's not sanctioned by the city.
The city will like remove them and they just show back up.
Weird.
But I think there is a plaque where I think it does mark like this is where the zoo.
Pruder film was like
Oh, interesting.
I think the thing on the street is the, if I'm not
mistaken, it's the one thing where the city's like,
no. I'm glad you guys went.
I would be such a goblin if I ever
made it to Dallas. I'd be there in like five minutes.
I'd be like, everybody could wait. Whatever I'd business
I have. I think that's one of the first things we did.
It was. Yeah, we got food and then checked it out.
D. Lee Plaza. D. Lee Plaza.
I would like to believe that it was
like for all these years, up into
very recently, like what? It was like two years ago
that he passed. Like, that was Poppy Bush.
putting the star there.
He still held a grudge
after all these years
and just kept on
every time they took it off
he's like,
got to go back,
got to put the star back.
My favorite was our...
Stupid Irishman.
Read my lips.
The star stays.
My favorite was our Uber driver
when he realized
where we were going.
He was like,
oh, let me drive you around a little bit.
Like, I can point out some stuff.
So he gave us his own little tour.
And then he told us,
he's like,
if you come out during the day,
because it was at nighttime it's like if you come out during the day
there will be people out who will give you
like conspiracy theory tours
so you can just pick a random
weird looking person and they'll give you
their own little tour and it's great
big recommend I want
to see share I want to see where Sheriff
Cigarette and Poppy Bush were on the day
I want to see that tour
of cigarette I love it so much
what's great
too is he kind of reminds the people on
the radio that when he radio is like
for the deputy or whatever he's like
the guy, like, responds because it's,
it's a fake guy when it's the leprechaun.
Maybe I'm being a fetter.
That's the same thing, yeah.
And, uh, he's just like, he's like introducing himself to him.
This is the sheriff, your boss.
Sign your checks.
Yeah.
He's like, that guy was just drunk.
I think he's drunk.
Uh, this is where, dude, the lepricon does get blasted with the shotgun.
And that is fucking buckshot right into his tiny tummy and fucking green.
explodes everywhere. It's so awesome.
And this is Jennifer Aniston,
kind of the clunker of the movie. She's like,
Nathan, that was
no fucking bear.
And I was like, wow, Jennifer Aniston
using harsh profanity
kind of strange to my ear.
And this is when she decides, okay, this guy
wants money. We got it.
She talks to Alex.
He tells her where the gold is. She gives him
the gold. She thinks it's over.
And it would be except for, obviously,
the coin inside. And now the leprechaun
has more powers because of the gold
that he's already got.
That's right. Yeah. Gold enhances
his powers. Sure. That's why
you could do the Freddie Kruger through the telephone
fucking fucking lawsuit.
Warner Brothers should have hopped on that shit
and sued the pants off these. That little baby
arm that sticks out. Oh no.
It looks like that.
That character that Kristen Wigg does
where she's got like the main. Oh, yes. The Lauren's Welk show.
Yes, yeah.
That always freaked the fuck out of me.
I did not care for that sketch.
I found it unsettling looking at those dog hands.
That's how Chelsea feels about Martin Short.
Yes, I can't.
So you've never seen.
Specifically, his character with the,
I forget what the character's name is,
with the triangle and his hair.
Oh, well, they did on S&L.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's also Jiminy Glick.
I hate him, like, I hate all of it.
You're going to be screaming watching Clifford.
You're not.
We can't do that for the podcast, James.
Yeah, well,
Oh, Martin Short as Jack Frost
in that third Santa Claus movie.
It's terrifying.
That's fucking terrifying.
Anyway, the leprechaun gets in the house
and he gets in all these cabinets.
Why I want to talk about this so much
is it's the scariest part in the movie.
The lepricon pitches this dude in the dick.
And I had to take a walk around.
It's wild.
It's a pinch.
It's not even a grab.
A grab would be preferable
even though it would be more sexual.
It's a pitch.
But you can tell he's getting like the,
he's getting the whole McGilla in that.
He's touching a hog there, dude.
He's totally touching hog.
He's pushing down the head for sure.
Guys, guys, calm down.
This is just how the Irish say hello.
You've heard of an Irish goodbye.
This is an Irish hello.
Pinch each other in the dick and balls.
And I much prefer the goodbye then.
Yeah, that whole thing is fucked up.
Also, it's like, I don't know, shotgun guy.
Like, let's get pumping.
You couldn't fucking shoot that bush fast enough.
Lepricon, go get pumping.
Oh, fuck, yeah.
Too late, you already made your wish.
See, there is more of that in the second movie of people wishing for things.
It's kind of like a wishmaster thing.
And Lepard transit in a way that kills them.
They really lean into like the powers and shit more.
That is something, right?
So we were saying like Lepricon and Chucky due to size, but like Lepricon
v. Wishmaster.
Oh, that's perfect.
That's fucking perfect, right?
Then you can get Div Off,
one of our fucking greatest living actors.
Hell yeah, dude.
Mikhail from Lost.
Have you guys met Div Off?
I'm curious.
Yes, we have.
We have, yeah.
He was very nice.
Brief interview with him,
just like a one question interview,
and he was great.
He did the voice for us.
Unprompted, I forget what he said,
but I like totally think he said
be good people for us.
That's right.
He did the sign off for our video.
I know what you want to ask me,
but you're too afraid.
so I'm just going to do it for you.
It's on your mind.
You want to be to talk like this.
We've seen Robert England
did a little bit of Freddy
for us in person as well.
And that was like...
See, it's interesting though.
I mean, I guess because it's not the same as like
a straight voice acting thing.
But I always remember on...
This is 100 years ago.
But when Kevin Smith started that Fat Man on Batman
podcast, he had Mark Hamill on.
And Mark Hamill, like they were talking about
obviously doing The Joker, and he was like, I'll do the voice for you, like, right here, but I won't, because he has the same philosophy that Frank Oz does, which is like, if I do the voice for you, it'll ruin it. I saw Frank Oz actually shoot that down in public one time. It was fucking awesome. Because he came to the place where I worked during the day at the Jacob Burns Film Center, 100 years ago. He directed that death at a funeral remake. And he came. And so, like, dreaded every fucking time. You turn the Q&A over.
for audience questions.
My God, just let us all go home.
But so we're there and someone was like,
could you do Miss Piggy?
And he didn't call that person a stupid selfish asshole,
which he should have.
But instead, he was just like,
listen, if I did that for you,
like it would ruin the illusion of Miss Piggy forever.
And Mark Hamill was the same way.
He was like, I'm going to do it for you, Kevin.
But like, I would never, you know,
do it in public or anything because it would like destroy that illusion.
I would like to ask Frank Oz to do the voice
that he did in the start of Blues Brothers
where he says one prophylactic
soy.
That's the best one.
They would ruin the illusion for you.
Yeah, I think both Andrew Diffoff and Robert
were both unprompted, which made it
so much better.
Right.
If you're cool with it, fine, you know, yeah.
I also really, I met
Rob Paulson, the guy who's like animaniacs
and he's YACO and at like an event
like a month or so ago.
And he introduced himself to me
as
yak,
like I didn't ask
but he did
it was so cool.
That's the best
if you don't ask
it's a little surprise.
You think Gunner Hansen
ever threw it out
to his fans
and like unprompted
he was like
I would like
if Divoff
had just done the Wishmaster
for like a normal
like PR question
like well actually
no I cannot tell you
what happens in the next season
of Perry Mason.
Dude you have
Divuff on Lost, too.
Yeah, I patch Mikhail.
Using his fluent Russian abilities there.
So, yeah,
a dumb thing,
leprechaun is already in the house,
but dumb thing,
the way he gets in the house
is through a bad fucking Santa Claus joke.
He comes down the chimney.
But I know Santa Claus.
But that moment is the funniest
moment of the film,
not because of that line,
but because it is followed up
with Nathan shooting him with a shotgun.
That is the response. He's like,
I'm down the chimney and I ain't no
Santee Clause, boom.
Ward Davis falls back.
What you should do to the actual Santa Claus, by the way.
That's a home invader.
Yeah, totally.
The famous home invader of all.
He's prolific.
You got to do the Gremlin's kill for that.
You just have, you know, if you have Leprecon come down, just die like Santa,
die like the dad and Gremlin.
I was going to say there is a Gremlin's death in this movie coming up.
It is. It's the Leprigon himself.
I would watch Gremlins versus Lepercom.
Oh, that would be.
And the Gremlins would definitely win.
Of course, that's a lot of question.
So we got to, I said we were going to bring it up later and I have to bring it up now because, again, it goes into my whole thing of whose fucking house is this because this is leprechaun is running around the house and they're looking for him, where's a leprechaun?
And, uh-oh, what's that noise?
And he slides by on a skateboard and I'm like, okay, whose skateboard is this?
Because whose house is it?
Old man of Grady's.
The child, the child was he trying to.
pick up a new fucking skill?
Because it's not Jennifer Aniston's
and it's not the dads and we don't see this little
turd skateboarding around
anywhere. So this is just a fucking
DSX skateboard. But that turd
looks like the type of turd who would skateboard.
Definitely. Absolutely.
But yeah, no, he looks like a skateboarding. This starts picking up
with some like, because now we're just in the
funning games here. We have him on the
skateboard. Eventually we have him on
roller skates. Oh, dude, the rollers
skates. It's just going on a fence
and leaving like a looney tunes on.
Total Bugs Bunny move right there.
Yeah.
What if there was a Grady skateboard
and this whole time he kind of was
trying to like kill his mom or like
he just was like if I just leave this skateboard here.
Oh yeah, by the stairs.
Wow, Lepricon, you achieved
what I've been trying to do for years.
I never thought about just pushing her.
Wait, I'm a widow and I'm rich.
That's also interesting is like
he's able to just to live his life.
life in this hospice and it's just like dude what happened to your fucking wife like no one
asked questions about that oh yeah yeah i don't know dude that's a real like she fell it's a staircase
like he just said for years that she fell she fell down those stairs in his house that smelled
like gasoline yeah right yeah a lot of question listen i am to believe that the police department
did not even look in that fucking basement because yeah if they had oh what's that smell what
were you doing down here? Like, yeah.
Well, dude, Sheriff Spook of the CIA
probably saw the leprechaun and like covered up
the existence of it.
Like they knew each other already. Well, we were
just sitting by the pool, drinking, having a good time
as we were and then she went inside, fell out a staircase
and a lepracon, a fucking killed her, I suppose.
But I do love, so they're like, oh, we got to go.
This is where, like, Jennifer Renison has to run quick
to this rest home. And they're
trying to figure out, like, or is this when she comes back?
They're trying to escape, and they're fucking hucking shoes to distract him?
That's her escape.
Yes.
Oh, to go ask, oh, Grady.
Like, how do we defeat the leprudas?
Oh, man.
And just like, you know what?
The movie could, you know, yeah, you need your movie to be 90 minutes.
It doesn't need to be 97.
Cut this part out.
It's terrible.
Well, the thing is like, I just could imagine just sort of like sitting down on a card table with
the script and a red pen being like, all right, dude, like.
what part do you think I'm going to cut?
Is it the part when you go
inexplicably to a rest home
and then leave in three pages?
Like, yeah, that's what I'm going to cut, dude.
After a fast motion wheelchair.
Yes, there's that as well.
Add that to the roller skate and the skateboard.
It's ridiculous.
But at least I guess we see a different location.
I was getting really tired.
Especially of that, we didn't even mention it really,
but the cupboard scene of opening the cupboards and shooting.
It's just been so tired.
I'm so tired of them looking for this fucking repurgant.
And now I'm so tired of them running away from it.
We haven't even brought up the fucking bullshit with the bicycle bell that takes another 25 minutes.
Yeah, dude, who could even care?
A lot of this movie feels.
Oh, yeah.
Lucky, oh, what was it?
Lucky Clovers.
I think it was IMD, again, yeah, grain of salt.
But apparently they had the rights for Lucky Charms, which is why all the other serials in the cabinet,
our name brand, which I thought was weird.
And apparently
they saw a cut of the movie and they
changed their mind and they had to
reshoot it with Lucky Clover. But everything else
is still like Raisin Brand and all these
like Frosted Flakes and stuff. Yeah, the fucking
General Mills people were like, you know what?
We saw the cut of your Leprocon film and we
thought we were putting our wholesome
family product in a fucking straight
up horror movie. But you're trying to play
me with this horror comedy shit, fuck you.
No Lucky Charms for you.
Out of here. Straight horror or
busts at General Mills. Too many jokes.
I think also maybe
this nursing home scene, this also
smells like a straight up, we got to get some more
horror in here. Because it's really just
Jennifer Aniston, it's Jennifer Aniston just jogging
through this hallway and they're shooting her
fucking right on. So like, you know what's up. At the most
canted of angles ever. Yep, obviously.
Absolutely. Yeah. So it's like we need like
some, you know, besweathered.
T&A in this movie and
like a little more horror so I don't know
yeah I guess he can fucking drop
from the top of the elevator like Silence
of the Lambs. I was going to say it's like silence
of the lambs for sure.
I feel like Jim Pembrey in there. God
damn and he got killed by a lepracond
talk to him. I feel
like we got robbed of
a scene like it definitely it had to
be shot that the old man and the leprecha
fought to get them to
this part. So we got robbed
of this beautiful scene of this old
Hodger going at it with
this fucking, with Warwick Davis. You're totally right, dude.
She should have punted him into the elevator.
Taking like the leprechaun walking up to his bed and putting like a pillow over his head.
Yeah.
Well, no, it could be another great moment for like him throwing his voice.
He's doing the wife again.
And then this old bastard's like, oh my God.
My wife's finally coming for me.
I can, you know, waltz off this mortal coil.
And then it's like, not today.
Well, he does something.
The guy in the elevator, the old Grady is hanging upside down the elevator.
are bloody to shit, we don't know how or why.
And, like, he gives him the information
about the Four Leap Clover.
Oh, my God. He's still totally alive.
She's, like, totally cognizant and fine.
She's like, oh, let me get you down.
It's like, it's too late for that.
No, it's not. It's never too late to be
removed from an elevator's
grating, bleeding.
There's time for that. But Steve, here's
a thing. I don't think she
believes what is being said
unless it's on a deathbed of some sort.
I see, got it. If you're, if you're being said,
what's going to kill this thing
is a four-leaf clover.
What you have to do is just look at the grass
for the next 15 minutes
and then you will find
what will kill the beast.
Dude, that is the fucking
final big set piece of this movie
is people looking through a co-clover field.
Looking at grass.
I love that like, so this dude's like, yeah,
just, you know, you got to go find a four-leaf clover
and if it touches him like he'll die or whatever.
And so she, you know, having been there
but a day knows exactly
wear on the property there's a clover
lit up green. Yeah I guess
very green but first not
to make a huge neon sign. Not to make
this any longer she runs back and sees
the cop car first
and there's all that and he takes the eye
she stabs him in the eye
and then he steals the cop's eye. She stabs
him in the eye with the nightstick which doesn't
seem to be a stabbing weapon but
I guess it gets it
it bludgeones through and
he then gets a new eye
from the deputy
Yeah, that's something
And it's, you know, a little bit of gore.
I appreciate it.
He does, but he can't fucking help himself, though.
And he's like, an eye for an eye, dearie.
Yeah, of course.
Shut the fuck up and take the eye.
You know, speaking of the gore, there is the scene where his hand gets cut off in the door.
And then we see the hand moving.
It looks good.
And I keep expecting it to like cut off before you see the edge of the hand.
But no, it keeps walking.
And so it looks like, you know, thing from America.
family, but like, it looks
convincing a fact. Yeah. It was good.
Yeah. So, you know, here
we are. We're going to kill this leprechaun.
I love this little psychopath. He's
talking to himself. He's like, I'm going to kill him.
I'm going to kill that lepracom.
Disturbing. It is.
He's psyching himself
into a kill. It's fucked up.
I just like the idea of him, like, wrapping piano
wire around his fists and, like,
getting bloody while he's like,
yeah, yeah.
Yeah. And then this is
This is fucking Jennifer Aniston being like, I believe, I believe.
And then like a four-leave clover's like, over here, you believe now.
God, it's dumb.
And this is the screenplay problem is like not just because Jennifer Aniston and, you know,
she would go on to be the most famous person who's movie by a mile.
But like, she's the protagonist.
So she finds it.
And the kid kills a leprechaun and then big teeth over there actually burns him down.
Like she does nothing to kill this lepricon after this.
It's kind of a bummer.
True, yeah.
It's the one flaw in the screenplay, I think.
I think I found it.
There is also the hilarious
leprechauns like attacking this kid
and he puts his dumb little kid face
right next to the bear trap.
Oh, yeah.
He almost saw traps him, dude.
Yeah, I wanted that to go down hard.
It didn't work out.
But yeah, he fucking tears this kid up.
It's great.
And then, yeah, the kid, though, has the line.
he's like fuck you lucky charms
and like
because he's Bart Simpson out of nowhere
and he made this fucking
that's why he had the skateboard dude
slingshot there we go thank you
yeah that's why he had the skateboard that's right
he's Bart Simpson and this dude this fucking
little lepre kind of eats this thing
goes right in his mouth it's awesome
it's kind of like that crooked colonel
getting killed at the end of the rock he's just got
like the green ball
he gets so goopy
when he starts to dissolve
the well, too.
Or is that, like,
he starts dissolving, like,
as he falls.
Yeah.
Gross and awesome.
This does look cool.
It's the end of Gremlins,
too.
It is.
Yeah, it's definitely,
Gremlins, too.
And he comes up,
this is the only time
but there's like a puppet
leprecha in this movie.
Because it's definitely like a,
he ha, ha, ha,
like someone puppeting this thing
in the well,
which is great.
And then they fucking kick it back down
or whatever.
Gun bought him with the shock on that thing.
She's like,
no, nope,
get back down there.
Dude,
and I just love this well,
exploding like there was C4
in it.
Fucking mushroom clouds.
Did we imagine in the climax there
that Ozzy, he was trying to get
the coin out of Ozzy out of his stomach
but he's cut his face instead?
He just buckle up and starts like grab it
and starts cutting in his face.
I was expecting this whole movie to like get a nice
horror scene of him getting in there.
Do you really dig it into this dude's gut?
Totally.
Yeah, like that first saw movie where he asked
Find a key in the stomach.
There's a scene, I think it's in the second one
where there's like somebody's,
he makes a pot of gold come out of somebody's stomach.
Yes, is this the Vegas one, I think.
No, that's second one. It's L.A.
Oh, really? Okay. So I've seen more of these
than I remember.
I got confused and I thought that death was in this
and I thought it was Francis who was going to get it.
Oh, no, that movie has way too many locations
to be this first.
Fair point. Fair point.
Yeah, you know
And so he fucking eats shit
And then it's like
It just ends with a voiceover of him
Saying he'll be back
Which clearly he returned several times
So he was not lying to us
It was not lying
Although there is a standing theory
Way too late
It's like the next day
In each of these movies
Is a separate leprecon
No really
I'm actually kind of into that idea
It kind of makes sense
Because their powers
Kind of differ
Like in the second one, his weakness is
Rod Iron, which is a traditional
weakness of Faye
and leprechauns.
But they never mentioned that shit here.
Also doesn't have the shoe fetish until
the direct sequel to this.
Oh, see,
yeah, you got to keep that. Yeah. You got to keep
that. They probably lost a lot of audience
members, I feel.
Without the shoe fetish. A bunch of the shoe weirdos
were like, oh, fuck, we finally thought there was a franchise
for us. I would love it if there
was good lepracons in this world. Like,
And the second one,
all these like regular looking little people
are just like, oh dude,
that guy's a fucking asshole.
I don't know what happened to him.
Like leprechauns as a species
are actually pretty chill.
It's like this one dude is such a fucking asshole.
He's a lot.
I mean, his dad left when he was a kid
so they fucked him up.
Do they ever do that?
Do they like, is there a fucking flashback at some point of like
Warwick Davis like without the makeup
and he's like got a little lepricon family?
No.
Yeah, no, no.
Leprechaun's father is Van Morrison.
There is an animated backstory.
I was going to say there's like a storybook.
It's at the beginning of Leprecon Back to the Hood,
and there are other leprechauns who all like went back to their world,
but this little fucker stayed and to wreak havoc.
Yeah, I forgot which one that opening.
Lepercombe back to the hood.
I can tell you about it.
Oh, yeah.
But yeah, that is the end of this movie.
So we will start with, of course, our two guests here this week.
Final thoughts?
I feel like you're going to recommend this movie.
So I'm not going to ask you that.
But final thoughts about Lepricon.
Chelsea?
A tired song.
It's like, it's too slow of a movie for me to recommend it.
It's like, oh, yeah, it's so bad.
It's good.
like it's just too fucking slow
but I do think that
yeah the like the makeup and design
of this character super cool
like it just looks good
the effects in it are really
good it's just it's so
it's just boring
I love the effects
I actually like the music
the theme that they have
I think works really well for what it is
but I
do think that if you like
bad horror movies
a lot of this series is enjoyable,
but not this one.
I think it's a pretty bad movie.
It's boring.
I ranked it when I did my leprechaun ranking series.
I only put two below it,
the W.W.E. one.
And then I also didn't like Leprechaun too.
I think it's just because the characters really annoy me.
But I literally have all the other ones ranked higher
because they're more fun and they're not at a fucking North Dakota
farmhouse.
I don't know how you take a magical creature
and just stick them all on a farm
for 90 minutes.
It's inexplicable.
Watch Lepricon space if you want.
Like a so bad, it's good.
That one's its own breed.
Now, the question is
how many of these
are owned on home video
and sitting in your house right now?
I mean, multiple copies.
I have the collector's set.
Yeah.
On Blu-ray.
You got them in, you know,
one for the house, one for the car,
one for the beach.
Yeah.
All right now, over to our gang here.
Eric Siska, final thoughts and recommendations, Leprocon.
Yeah, no, I'm not going to recommend it.
I think it is slow.
It wears out its welcome surprisingly quickly.
So, you know, there's better, we've talked about better films on this show already.
Zepruder film, et cetera.
There's better things that you could be watching.
So that's my two cents.
Chris Cabin?
No.
Yeah, this movie really sucks.
I would say, you know what, it has, it has a good message, never eat money.
I think that's an important message.
You don't know where it's been and who it belongs to.
I think it's important.
I think it's also the single location thing, tremors comes out around this time and does a similar thing way, way better.
Big time.
And it's also because, you know, the tremor worms don't have like one-liners that they're thrown out.
I'm coming up
I want the world
dude that should happen
though
now I want them to
dude redo tremors is the Chris
Cabin cut man
them worms are just saying shit
would be awesome
Steve Saneck
I have to follow Chris Cabin
doing an impromptu song
fuck this sucks
sorry Steve
yeah no I kind of agree
it's a light
it's a light not recommend for me
I do I'm kind of on the James
and Chelsea train of like
it's i think that he's got enough going on the warwick davisness the character design is okay
i am going to be uh in our programming meetings which are via text i think this isn't the last
of this series that we see i do i do want to go back to this i want to because i do i know at least
the vagus woods a lot of fun and obviously space and the hood are all exciting it just kind of
sucks uh it is just like it's a budget thing i guess but it's also like a poor planning thing like
why doesn't the leprechaun go to the sheriff's station
and start fucking shit up?
You had that location.
That would be amazing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, I totally agree.
I mean, yeah, I think I'm like, I'm in your camp there, Steve.
I think just especially after the glowing reviews that James and Chelsea have given to the rest of this franchise, I have to go check out at least a couple more.
I'm going to lose so much respect for us.
I just, I think because it's like,
We just reviewed
we've reviewed so many horror movies.
Yeah.
And sometimes your,
your standard of like,
what is watchable
gets real fucked up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So.
Our calibration is.
It's bad.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No,
I totally,
it's kind of the same thing
as doing a show
revolving entirely almost
around bad movies.
It's like,
you watch so much shit
that a total middle
of the road thing,
you're like,
that's a masterpiece.
Yeah.
Yeah. So that's that's going to do it. And that's also going to do it for the 2021 Halloween Sputacular here on We Hate Movies.
So what better way to close out the month than with you guys. So thank you so much James and Chelsea for coming on.
Plug away. What do you got going on? Promote whatever you want to do. Do it up.
All right. Well, since this is coming out the end of October, we are finally catching up on sleep, which is great. We just released a ton of content on the channel.
so check all that out, including fun interviews and event videos and kill counts and podcasts.
That's on the YouTube channel, Dead Meat.
Yeah, you kind of covered all that stuff.
Well, there's also the podcast can be found, which Chelsea.
Yes, the podcast you can find, the Dead Meat podcast you can find anywhere you listen to podcasts.
There's also we do a video component to it as well.
So if you want to watch it on YouTube, you can do that too.
And I want to put a question out to both you really quickly here as we wrap up because, you know,
I'm a fella who I'm pretty stingy
with being impressed by horror these days
I feel like it's a real fucking shallow pool
and like as much as I love Shudder
like sometimes it's okay to not acquire a movie
so I want to put it to you
I want to ask you right now because we're recording this
at the beginning of October
just a quick one recommendation
what's a new horror movie
you know streaming or otherwise
you guys are liking
it's not strictly horror
but this is kind of a fallback answer for me.
Have you seen Come to Daddy?
No, no.
Yes.
Come to Daddy so good.
Come to Daddy is good stuff.
It's Elijah Wood.
It's kind of horror, but kind of just weird.
It's very bizarre.
I like Elijah Wood getting weird, so that's, yeah.
It's really, really weird.
And it starts one way and becomes a totally different.
It's cool.
Like the mood of it is, I can't think of anything to compare it to.
I also love 12-hour shift.
Bria Grant's movie that she,
does she write, direct and star in it?
She did not star in it.
She does not act in it, actually.
Oh, yeah.
I don't know why I thought she was in it.
But she wrote and directed it.
And yeah, it's kind of like a madcap, dark comedy.
It's very cold brothers.
It's very Cohn brothers.
And it's, yeah, it's about like this nursing staff working.
Like overnight at a hospital shift.
And David Arquette is like this,
this serial killer that.
ends up there as like a he's like a prisoner that ends up in the hospital it's it's a lot of fun it's super dark comedy it's like that's a horror comedy that works i was very impressed by it that's the thing though hon is both of those that we just recommended they're barely horror so i want to give them an actual an actual horror film i'm trying to think of ones recently that have really impressed me um uh uh
Most. Did you see host?
I loved malignant.
I love malignant.
I'm being, I'm being Gabriel for Halloween.
So.

It is time to keep your appointment with the Wicca Man.
They're coming to get you, Barbara.

Movies don't create psychos
Movies make psychos
for creative
Put the fucking lotion in the back
There's an excellent day for an exited
That was a hate gum podcast
